Checking brake pads (Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 903)

When servicing your car yourself, this type of check is most important. It should be carried out regularly. The front brake pads wear out quite quickly, especially on cars with automatic transmission.

The brake pad wear indicator lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when braking if the pad thickness on the piston side of the front wheel cylinder is less than 3.5 mm. Normally, all four front pads should be replaced if this level of wear occurs.

When installing new front pads, you should always check the condition of the rear pads.

To check, you need to remove the wheel. The maximum permissible wear for the front brake pads is 3.5 mm, and for the rear brake pads it is 2 mm.
