Absolutely true. The fact is that most times they're not made available. For the simple reason very few would go this far to repair it, making it commercially senseless. Or in the case of parts with larger rotation simply to protect the "business". I recall a odd case of a rear wheel bearing, if memory serves for Peugeot 306 and notice there's several other examples. You can buy the entire hub pretty much anywhere. But you cannot find just the loose bearing in the market. Some manufacturers have it in catalog, with the remark. "Not available to public"! It's called proprietary design. ;-) Cheers

Fatih Emre - I wouldn't do that without some trial. There's a reason why it's there in the first place and not located as you suggest. With so many versions and small variations, it's hard to say. A good diagram and some fiddling and you might be into something, or opening a can of worms altogether. LOL :-) The logical portion of these circuits can be quite fiddly regarding what they expect from sensors and switches. Remember these are "safety" areas and Mercedes don't tend to "play around" in these area. Most probably this switch as a redundant function along with the one in the pedal. The brake switch on these A Class already provide additional information to ABS/ESP/BAS and I bet a few more letters that I forgot. LOL It's more than the classic ON/OFF for the brake light. Particularly on auto or semi auto gearbox, I would be very weary to do it. ;-) My 2 cents. Cheers

Hi It can be the loom shorting somewhere... But, codes, and live data... Start from there... Thank you for watching and for your comment!

In your opinion will Autel AL539b do the job for codes & live data on this MB? Thank you for reply!!!

Did you solve problem

No worries... Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Hi I do use containers etc... in this case was a very small slippage... which was easy contain and clean with some paper towel... If you follow my channel, you will see that in the mean time I bought a battery charger/maintainer... I can't just buy everything I would like to have... 😋 If you also follow my channel, you can also see that I do have a power probe, to trace open or short circuits without dismantling so much stuff... Now, my videos, are to help people that want to do their own repairs etc... those fancy tools are not affordable or feasable to everyone to buy them... so I try to do them in a way that most people can using only some basic tools... If that makes sense... I do however, really appreciate you comment and that you watch my videos! Thanks! 👍👍👍👍

Not on brakes... Plus, would probably fault, as would see the same signal oll the time... Thank you for watching!

Possibly... Check codes, an live data... Thank you for watching!

Petar you to bleed the brakes... if is that what you mean... Thank you for watching!

SONER ERDOĞAN I’m planing to have one A140 soon, how do you feel about your car? People said it’s a piece of expensive junk. But my friend has not any major problem since he bought it.

Never done it on a w202... but possibly can be done the same...

Scan the car and go from there... 👍👍👍

@@LMAutoRepairs scan already done It gives C1202 code errors

Which car model are we talking about? That error is for the hydraulic pressure sensor of the braking system...

@@LMAutoRepairs C class 180 1999

You should have two pressure sensors on the master cylinder... that is what that code points to...

Jose Rudi Schnorr - First and most important check the brake pads for wear. If worn out replace them and recheck for error. If clear you're done, so enjoy. If persistent error: Brake light switch on the brake pedal assembly. It's located inside the car, on the top of the brake pedal lever. Quarter turn & pull out, replace. 2 minute job. Get original from Mercedes, it's not a very expensive part. Cheers

Ehehehe Thank you for watching and for your comment!
