OEM Brake Parts - MBClub UK

oldmerc · 26-04-2012, 08:00 PM

I have always believed where Brakes are concerned original parts should be used..Can anyone confirm what make would be of similar quality to those puchased from Mercedes ? im currently looking to replace discs and pads on a recently purchased 2005 S320cdi..ECP have some good deals regarding Brake parts but im unsure of the proven quality of their various makes..any comments gratefully recieved.

Pagid are OE quality, never had any issues with them, had dozens of sets on various cars including drilled on a Boxster 3.2 S.

TMD Friction group whose brands include Pagid and Textar amongst others have a new brake pad called Textar Epad. We are using the pads on one of our cars and have been impressed with them and would recommend them. ECP sell the pads.

When parts store sent me OEM parts, they included Bosche front pads, Meyle Front and Rear Brake discs, and Pagid Rear pads. And correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the Mercedes calipers might be from ATE? mine had the letters "Ate" stamped into the metal.

Only Bosch are OEM to Mercedes, Meyle and Pagid are both aftermarket and are not OEM at all.

Some older calipers were Ate or Bendix, but most now are Lucas/TRW.

There seems to be a nasty habit of people selling OEM parts that are not OEM at all, and the term "OE quality" seems to be designed to mislead.

Stick to original MB parts (not as expensive as you think) or proper OEM brands such as Ate or Textar.

Seems you get what you pay for, they are 53% more than Pagid ones on ECP site.

Anyone know of a cheaper supplier for ATE/OEM pads?

Just thought id list the parts from ECP,

Eicher Brake PadsPart No.: 101220731 £27.54 [£19.23 after discount] - Eicher - Euro Car Parts UK
Pagid Brake PadsPart No.: 101220738 £46.20 [£32.34 after forum discount] - Pagid - Euro Car Parts UK
ATE Brake Pads Part No.: 101220735 £63.60 [£44.52 after forum discount]- ATE - Euro Car Parts UK
Textar Brake PadsPart No.: 101220736 £63.60 [£44.52 after forum discount] - Textar - Euro Car Parts UK
Textar E-Pad Part No.: 10122073E £85.20 [£59.60 after forum discount](Priced Per Axle) - | Euro Car Parts UK

So for the ATE pads we are only £0.78p more expensive than Mr Auto (dont forget their £6 delivery charge!) - And we offer faster delivery (goods are in stock in the UK) or same day collection from over 100 branches nationwide!

Fantastic!

Always pays to shop around.

Extra discount at the moment at Mr Auto (CAR PARTS from Mister Auto - Your Parts at discount prices)

So ATEs would only be £41.86 all in.

Luckily carparts4less promise to beat any price:

Low Price Guarantee

So I guess OP could get them from you, I mean them, at an even better price that Mr Auto.

C43AMG · 27-04-2012, 11:37 AM

Yes 40p cheaper

Can't argue with that.
