2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK500. To Utilise SBC Brakes or Not?

[PRoberts76]

Gentlemen,

Could someone kindly verify whether the 2003 CLK500 is equipped with SBC brakes? I am encountering contradictory information online, therefore I deemed it prudent to enquire here.


Thank you

Thank you.

I observed it, and thereafter, there were further reports confirming their possession.

[MercedesMan98]

Examined several listings on Autotrader, and none are equipped with SBC; all use a standard ABS pump.

[PRoberts76]

I believe that is favourable news.


Thank you very much

[MercedesMan98]

What is the reason for your inquiry?

[PRoberts76]

I have discovered a CLK500 that captivates my interest.

[MercedesMan98]

The SBC pump is readily identifiable if it is indeed an SBC model.

[PRoberts76]

This is the ABS module from the actual vehicle, hence it is unequivocally not SBC.

Greatly appreciated

I observe that the brake lines have been replaced; it may be prudent to trace the copper pipes to verify their routing and ensure the quality of the work.
