Break Lining
I drive a 1996 Class E 320 with just 35,000 Km on it. The onboard computer just announced "Break Lining Wear" on the screen.
How many Km will I have before the lining really wears off or before going to the shop? Thanks in advance for your help. Mariano Penagos Colombia

Bienvenidos!
Not sure how deep the sensors are set on newer cars, but on my 126 I had about 1mm, maybe a little more, pad remaining. I changed my pads within about 3-4 days of the light just beginning to flicker. Only one pad had worn enough for sensor contact (the others were ready to). No idea how many miles/kms that translates to.

Hi Mike:
Thanks for your reply. I called MB yesterday and they recommended to look at the pads because sometimes too much heat on the pads falsely triggers the alarm. I took the car to a specialized break shop and the front pads are about 1/8" to 1/16" thick. The technician said I could drive some 1,000 Km more. This will give me time and pad lining to bring them from Europe this coming Christmas. Best regards Mariano

Don't forget to pick up a set of new wear sensors too. They're only a couple $$ each.
