    Default Brake lines Schematic for S211 E270 Model 2003

    Hi can anyone prove a brake lines schematic for the E270 T model 2003?

    Brake fluid is leaking from the n/s front just in front of the front door area.

    Also any advice on the repair, will copper pipe suffice?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You should spot it easy bud if you get under and have a look , you will need a tool to splay open the ends of the pipe though. then use the old one as a template to get the size ,shape etc it's not hard ,bleeding them will bust your ass but lol

    I forgot to say, you don't really need to replace the full pipe if it's not that bad.just splice a new bit in the old one

    Thanks to plug1

    I've never done this myself, but I believe plug is spot on, normally people cut out the damaged section and replace this. Not worth trying yourself as you need special tools to flare the ends of the old pipe. Considering the importance of brakes, as I've never done the job myself, I've paid to get it done rather than asking to borrow tools and try it myself.

    Bleeding your brakes will be fun, as your car has the SBC braking system, you will probably need to see someone who works on a lot of Mercs and has the Star Diagnostic System as to properly bleed this you need to command the ABS (SBC) pump to pressurise and flush out each corner one by one. Also need a pressure bleeder and Merc specify a particular bottle to allow safe bleeding as fluid can be ejected at 200-300 bar.

    Sorry I was thinking about the cost of the actual Mercedes part not copper roll.

    Don't take this the wrong way mate
    but I don't think you cut out for this job
    contact them and post the price of the part that your quoted
    id be very surprised if they even had it it stock ...
    carlover is right , but you can avoid this if know what your doing
    take it a reputable indifferent and don't pay more than 150
    copper tube is copper tube bro ..

    Thanks to plug1

    Also speak to your mechanic - some pipes are easy to replace, while some are an absolute nightmare (maybe even engine out type nightmare) to replace complete.

    That's why people often just replace the bad area instead of whole pipe.
