Description
Get Your MERCEDES-BENZ Van Stopping Like New with TRW Brake Pads
> Brake pads are what slow down your MERCEDES-BENZ MB 100 or MB 140 by squeezing against the brake discs. Over time, they wear down, especially in vans that are constantly carrying heavy loads. Ignoring worn pads is like driving with your eyes closed – not a smart move.
Dodgy Brakes? Here's What To Look For
• Brakes are squealing like a stuck pig.
• Taking way too long to stop.
• The brake pedal is vibrating like crazy.
• Feels spongy when you hit the brakes.
• Warning light's on (if your van's got one).
WOF Woes?
Worn brake pads are a no-go for a WOF. They check the thickness and how well your brakes work. Don't risk it; get them sorted.

Difficulty: 6/10 (A good challenge)

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brakes, mate, a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, safety! Never, ever get under your MERCEDES-BENZ van held up by just a jack. Use proper axle stands – it's a no-brainer. Grab some Safety Glasses to keep the dust and grime out of your eyes, and a decent pair of Nitrile Gloves will save your hands from getting covered in brake dust which you don't want. While you're at it, give everything a good blast with some Brake Cleaner to get rid of any old carbon buildup. And don't forget a smear of anti-seize grease on the caliper bolts when you're putting it all back together – keeps things sweet for next time.
Bob's Two Cents
I reckon you should swap out your brake pads the moment you notice any issues. TRW pads are a solid choice for vans like yours – reliable, long-lasting, and they'll handle the weight. Pop into Bob's Shop, and we'll sort you out with the right pads for your MERCEDES-BENZ van. I can help find the perfect part for your MERCEDES-BENZ van. Swing by Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Vital Fitting Info
These pads are made for the MERCEDES-BENZ MB 100 2.9 D (2001-2005) and MB 140 2.9 D (1999-2005). Double-check your van's specs, or give us a shout at CARFIX to make sure they're the right fit.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle Mb, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF7323S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
