They are not distinct two-piece brakes, as you envisioned (I possess those on my Ultima); nonetheless, in relation to your inquiry, upon closer inspection, the bell may be composed of aluminium. It is a singular assembly that cannot be disassembled, lacking any fasteners. I saw the original query as enquiring whether I possessed the optional carbon composite brakes, as that is the common assumption when the term "composite" is spoken. I am unable to locate any part numbers for the discs or pads, and it has been proposed that this is due to Mercedes' intention to restrict the aftermarket from providing certain AMG components. Certainly, this implies they can impose charges over £1,000, which is absurd. Any part number for these discs and pads would be beneficial. Thank you!

Has the disc's warping been verified using a dial gauge? Are you experiencing a vibration in the steering wheel while braking? Instead of through your seat for the rear brakes. Exercise caution when diagnosing the issue, as warped discs may produce comparable braking vibrations caused by worn front control arms. I experienced same issue with the CLK, having replaced the MB disc and pads, but ultimately, it was determined to be the front control arms. As you mentioned, the fees associated with your discs can be prohibitively high if mistakes are made.

Certain primary dealers may provide attractive prices on brake discs and pads; therefore, it is advisable to compare options.

Excellent location. Several years ago, rear disc brakes were unavailable at my primary dealership, so MSL installed a set of Brembo brakes instead.

Since you are located in the Midlands, contact MSL Performance; they typically offer competitive prices for authentic discs and provide installation services as well.

Some individuals presume that composite refers to carbon ceramic, which I guess is what you imply by cost choice.

Do they appear as such? These are composite brake discs, consisting of a steel friction surface and an aluminium bell.

Greetings, everyone. I appreciate your responses. The callipers were inspected a few months ago when they were detached, and the pads were examined. No problems detected. I will conduct an additional inspection and cleaning when I organise the discs. The C63S is equipped with distinct discs and pads compared to the C63; nevertheless, they are not composite but rather steel. Composite brakes were an optional expense I chose to forgo. I am currently seeking recommendations for discs and pads. Any suggestions would be appreciated. They are exceedingly difficult to locate outside of Manitoba.

It is essential to have the callipers inspected. Authentic Mercedes-Benz components come with a two-year warranty; however, demonstrating that the issue originates from the disc or calliper may prove challenging.

I regret to learn that. Are you aware if one or both discs are distorted? I would refrain from replacing them without first verifying the callipers. If the callipers become stuck, the head may accumulate pressure, resulting in the warping of the disc. I am uncertain about your precise model; nevertheless, in certain instances, AMG cars equipped with enhanced composite discs may also utilise conventional discs. I cannot ascertain if yours is included, but another member or a brief search may provide confirmation. Best of luck organising it.

According to the headline, my 2019 facelift C205 C63S need replacement front discs. The automobile has barely accumulated a few thousand miles since their replacement, and although they are not worn, one of them is significantly deformed. The vehicle has been utilised infrequently, having accumulated 14,000 miles from its inception and merely 3,000 miles since the installation of new Mercedes discs and pads; so, I am quite disheartened that one of them has warped after such minimal usage. Considering the expense of the discs from MB and the rapidity of this failure, I am dissatisfied with the prospect of incurring the AMG tax again, hence I am exploring alternative options. Regrettably, the C63S is equipped with distinct brakes compared to the C63, and I am encountering difficulties in locating aftermarket alternatives. Despite being Brembo brakes, I anticipated they would be readily available; yet, the reality is quite the contrary. Has anyone here successfully procured replacement front discs and pads for a C63S? Thank you!

The battery was completely charged as we awaited the arrival of the new loom.

It appears to resemble a depleted battery.

The battery is completely charged. The vehicle was in continuous operation until the loom malfunctioned.

Is the battery still robust after being allegedly unused for an extended period?

I have verified them, and they are both satisfactory. The starter rotates unimpeded when linked to an energised wire. It also participates in the flywheel.

It may be a defective ground strap or a malfunctioning starter motor.

I have substituted the engine loom and verified all fuses and relays, all of which are functioning properly. The engine fails to ignite. The starter activates as though attempting to rotate the engine but fails to persist. The engine can be manually rotated via the pulley, indicating it is not seized. I connected to Ista, which displays many problems; upon clearing, some reappear while others do not. However, I am confident it should still start regardless. I am currently perplexed. I have also replaced the DDE relay. Requesting assistance, if possible.

Which hose must I detach to introduce air and expel the majority of the coolant from the system? Clearly, when I proceed with this, the thermostat will be closed; hence, I may need to detach multiple hoses surrounding the thermostat housing. Which hoses would facilitate this process?

I utilised a cordless blower in the expansion tank until no fluid emerged from the drain faucet; nonetheless, only approximately 3-4 litres were expelled.

It will not completely expel all of it unless air is forced through the system, likely a significant amount within the engine block and the vehicle's heater.

Can someone inform me of my error? I am attempting to empty the cooling system, with the heater set to high. I have opened the drain tap at the bottom of the radiator and removed the cap from the expansion tank, nevertheless only approximately 3-4 litres have been expelled. What additional steps should I take?
