W221 Genuines MB Discs & Pads looking dangerous within less than 3,000 miles - what is the potential issue?

[ajlsl600]

Having done a good few miles since fitting now, these new ECP sourced Brembo discs and pads show no signs of issue like the previous original MB front discs were. These new ones give the car a positive pedal feel that it’s never had before and the braking performance is exactly how I would expect now.

So to conclude;

1 . MB centres claims that it’s to do with the car doing low miles, living outside and all that nonsense is disproved. The fact that the rear genuine MB brakes subjected to the same time, use and conditions are fine!

2. MB centre ruled out any issues with callipers etc.

3. These new aftermarket discs and pads do not have any of the concerning wear the previous genuine set had immediately, let alone by this stage.

So I conclude that this proves, the genuine MB front discs and pads that MB centre fitted last time round are of unsuitable/dangerous quality!

I think I may still have time to make an official case as it’s black and white and perhaps get some £££ back. I’ll see if I can find any spare time over Xmas.

Lesson learnt. Mb discs made of chocolate so you keep going back quality is a myth

I will try ecp brembo as well.

I will try ecp brembo as well.

I fitted them on my CLS as well about 2 years ago and they’ve been fine. Wear is perfect, nothing negative to report, no wear issues, no warping issues, brake performance is as you’d expect. About due for a change again for good DSK style measure

I’ve used them (both standard and max models) for track and road with DS2500 pads for donkeys years on the Volvos again without issue.

Fit them yourself too if you have the time and ability. I don’t trust typical mechanics and specialists who just want the car in/out in a jiffy.
