The reasons for abnormal noise when braking in the Mercedes-Benz C180L are: 1. Severe wear of the brake discs; 2. New cars or recently replaced brake discs and pads may produce noise during the break-in period. Taking the 2019 Mercedes-Benz C180L as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of: length 4784mm, width 1810mm, height 1457mm, wheelbase 2920mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C180L is equipped with multi-link independent suspension on both front and rear, powered by a 1.6T turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 156PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, and maximum power of 115kW, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've seen many cases of the Mercedes-Benz C180L making abnormal noises when braking, which generally stem from a few possible causes: The most common is brake pads worn to their limit, exposing the metal material and causing squeaking sounds during friction; or the brake disc surface being rusty or uneven, especially noticeable after rain when starting the car. It could also be due to dirt in the brake caliper or loose pins, leading to abnormal friction between components. It's recommended to first check the thickness of the brake pads; if it's below 3mm, they should be replaced. Additionally, don't overlook the condition of the brake discs, as unevenness can exacerbate noise and wear. Avoid emergency braking during normal driving, and regular maintenance can prevent such issues. Remember to have it checked at a professional repair shop—safety comes first.
