C220 (W203) vibration through pedal
Hi.
I have a C220 (W203) which is vibrating through the pedal under braking. I have replaced the pads and discs three times already and every time I do the vibration goes for about a month and then comes back.
It doesn't vibrate when driving, only when braking.
I have had my ABS system read by a local garage and they say there are no fault codes in there.
They have also checked the suspension on shaker plates and we can't seem to see a siginificant amount of play in anything.
I currentlt have Textar brake discs and pads as I was informed these are some of the best I can get.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I believe the problem is your rotors. I had the same issue where I installed new front rotors and after a few weeks I had bad vibrations when braking at 40-60 mph, not so bad above or below those speeds. I measured the rotor run out and they were 7 thousandths off on each side of the rotor. I had them resurfaced and the problem was gone......for a few days! I remeasured the rotors and they were 1 thousandth run out on each side on both rotors. I put them back on but still go the same vibration on braking. I then took the car out and did hard braking for about 20 minutes and remeasured the rotors while they're hot and now the run out are 5 thousandths! The metal in the rotors were so soft that they warped (got them at Amazon for $40 each!!) I then bought new Balo rotors and no more vibration, they are about $70 each from Amazon.
