Mercedes-Benz GLC Brake Pad Replacement Malaysia
GLC front brake pads last 30,000–50,000 km in Malaysian traffic. As an SUV it's heavier than C-Class so brake wear can be faster. Electronic wear sensors alert you. OEM vs aftermarket options and costs.
The GLC SUV body is heavier than the C-Class sedan, placing greater demand on brakes in KL stop-start traffic. Front pad lifespan: 25,000–45,000 km. Rear: 35,000–60,000 km. Cost at 4M Car Care: front pads RM 280–480; front pads + rotors RM 600–1,100.
Brake Pads — Mercedes-Benz Malaysia
Mercedes-Benz vehicles use electronic brake pad wear sensors — the dashboard displays a warning when pads reach minimum thickness. Do not ignore this warning in Malaysian conditions: extended stop-start city driving wears pads faster than in cooler climates. Front pads cost RM 200–450 (OEM or equivalent quality); Brembo or Ferodo performance pads are RM 300–600 and offer better fade resistance. Mercedes-specific pads include dust sensors — use proper MB-compatible sensors to avoid false warnings. Always replace in axle pairs.
