I own a CLK200 09 plate which after 3-4 weeks stationary in my drive due to the bad weather has just thawed its way back onto the roads!

Since then I have noticed vibration when I am braking.

Local dealer advised that I do some miles as 'suspected' corrosion may just wear off! After 200 miles plus of driving the vibration has not lessened.

Same dealer is looking for Circa £700.00 to replace for front and rear brake discs and pads. The word warped discs has been mentioned!!!

MB warranty will not cover this as a warranty item!

I am a bit annoyed as I have been paying for the car to be stationary in the drive for a month. I am now looking at paying for something through no fault of my own to be fixed.

Does anyone have any advice?

the problem is most likely rusted and warped rotors..could be flat spotted tires too.

 

new brakes and rotors man. Thats pretty much the only way.
