W124 Chassis/VIN numbers and brake sizings
 

This is going to be a possible stupid question that I've probably answered myself... but I'm trying to double check the correct front brake disc(rotor)/pad sizes for my new '93 320TE wagon- as parts places I'm checking are giving conflicting info. My chassis number ends 245784, and the EPC gives part numbers for up to 242721 and then 242722 on.

Pre 242721 should be 22mm discs and 17.5mm pads
242722 onwards should be 25mm thick discs and 16mm pads

...so I need the latter yeah?

cheers.

Yes, you need later version.

:)

chazola, I agree.

Chaz use google search and put in the search box GERMANSTAR .

Thanks everyone. I figured I'd double check in case there was some Mercedes part number weirdness happening, but in the end I took a wheel off and measured one of the current discs, which is indeed 25mm wide! :)

They are all around this in size .But you will need the dia and other specs for new ones to be purchased . The thickness will have changed as they wear down.

What is 25mm wide????

chazola meant 25mm "thick" instead of "wide".
