- 2008 Mercedes C220 CDI W204
Hi there, i wonder if someone can help please.Merc parking brakes are notoriously poor, often needing loads of left foot force to keep the vehicle stopped.
So much so that on a lake slipway I pulled the cable out of the adjuster on a Vito with a bang, so then relied on the parking pawl (I put it in park).
I have a merc c220 cdi w204, yesterday i applied the parking brake (foot pedal) i pressed it down as normal and then i heard a loudish bang and the pedal went slack, i cannot now apply the parking brake as it feels slack, and i have to pull it up with my feet to release it, any ideas of what has happened? i will be getting the car recovered to a garage tomorrow but wanted an idea of possible problems. Has anyone experienced this?
