Mercedes brake discs do not have a specific replacement cycle. When the vehicle's mileage reaches 100,000 kilometers, the brake discs should be inspected. If they are damaged or worn to the limit, they should be replaced promptly. Steps to replace brake discs: Check the wear level of the brake discs. During routine maintenance, brake discs do not necessarily need to be replaced. The decision to replace them should be based on actual conditions. If there are grooves deeper than 3MM on the brake discs, they can be replaced; Remove the front wheel tires. To replace the brake discs, both front wheel tires need to be removed to access the brake discs; Remove the fixed caliper screws. The brake discs are mounted on the front wheel bearings and secured by the caliper. Remove the caliper; Remove the old brake discs. The old brake discs are installed on the front wheel bearings, and rust may form between the bearings and the brake discs. Use a hammer to tap the back of the brake disc while rotating it to ensure all sides are tapped. After several taps, the old brake discs can be removed; Install the new brake discs. Align the holes on the new brake discs with those on the bearings and gently tap the inside of the brake discs with a hammer to ensure they are fully secured on the bearings; Reinstall the caliper. Reinstall the caliper in its original position, tighten the two fixing screws, and check for any abnormal noises when the bearings rotate.

Just helped my brother replace the brake discs on his Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The 4S shop said they normally need inspection after 60,000-80,000 km of driving. Actually, it depends on driving habits - if you frequently brake in city traffic jams, the disc surface might develop deep grooves by 50,000 km. The front discs on my brother's car were worn down by 3mm, causing the steering wheel to vibrate like a phone's vibration mode when braking, and a yellow brake warning symbol popped up on the dashboard. The mechanic measured with calipers and said the original discs had less than 20mm thickness left, so they had to be replaced. We also changed to ceramic brake pads at the same time, costing nearly 5,000 yuan including labor. They recommended checking disc thickness every second brake pad replacement.

Why does the Mercedes sunroof open automatically?

Reasons for the automatic opening of the sunroof in Mercedes-Benz vehicles include lack of regular maintenance and cleaning, and incorrect initialization settings. The specific causes and solutions are as follows: Lack of regular maintenance and cleaning: If the sunroof system is not regularly cleaned and maintained, the sunroof tracks can become dirty, increasing movement resistance. In summer, the heat can soften the sunroof seals, further increasing resistance. The solution is to perform timely cleaning and maintenance. Incorrect initialization settings: Incorrect initialization settings (such as low battery voltage or failure to perform initialization) or excessively dirty sunroof tracks can cause the sunroof to malfunction. Reinitializing and cleaning the dust can resolve the issue. Sliding-tilt sunroof initialization: First, turn off the ignition switch, then turn it on again. Press and hold the sunroof lift switch until the rear part of the sliding/tilt sunroof is fully raised. Hold the switch in this position for 1 second, then check if the sliding/tilt sunroof can fully open automatically again. If not, repeat the initialization process.

What is the battery model for the Brilliance BMW 320LI?

The original battery for the Brilliance BMW 320LI uses the Varta brand. Below are some relevant details about the battery: 1. New Battery: If the new battery was produced within the last half-month and has not been used, it can be used directly without charging.

For dry-charged lead-acid batteries, as per the user manual, if stored for no more than two years, you only need to add the specified density of electrolyte and let it sit for 15 minutes before use—no charging is required. 2. Electricity Usage Habits: Develop good in-car electricity usage habits. Avoid listening to the radio loudly, charging your phone, or using an air pump when the engine is off. Regularly drive on highways for long distances. Driving on highways regularly has many benefits, not only helping to remove carbon deposits from the vehicle but also ensuring the battery is fully charged.
