Mercedes-Benz Mercedes Sprinter 2006-2018 Brakes Specifications

These brakes are specifically designed for 2006-2018 Mercedes Sprinter models, including both 2500 and 3500 series. They are compatible with both diesel and gasoline variants. However, it is recommended to verify the exact model and year of your vehicle before purchasing, as there may be minor variations in brake specifications for specific trims or custom configurations.

For optimal performance, inspect your Sprinter brakes every 12,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first. Replace brake pads every 25,000-35,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Rotors should be checked for wear and replaced if thickness falls below the manufacturer’s minimum specification. Regularly check brake fluid levels and replace it every 30,000 miles or as per the vehicle’s maintenance manual.

To replace the brakes, first, secure the vehicle on a flat surface and remove the wheels. Unbolt the caliper and carefully detach it from the rotor. Remove the old brake pads and inspect the rotor for wear. If necessary, replace the rotor. Install the new brake pads, reassemble the caliper, and secure it with bolts. Finally, reattach the wheels and test the brakes before driving.

Unusual noises such as squeaking, grinding, or clicking may indicate worn brake pads, damaged rotors, or debris in the braking system. Inspect the brake pads for wear and replace them if necessary. Check the rotors for grooves or warping and resurface or replace them if needed. Ensure all components are properly lubricated and free of debris. If the issue persists, consult a professional mechanic.

To optimize braking performance, use high-quality brake pads and rotors specifically designed for your Sprinter. Ensure proper installation and torque specifications are followed. Regularly check and maintain brake fluid levels, and flush the system as recommended. Avoid aggressive driving and heavy loads, which can accelerate brake wear. Periodically clean the braking system to prevent debris buildup.
