Burning C230
My wife just pulled her 1999 C230K in to the garage and it was burning. No flames, just acrid smoke. After I told her it was not a good idea to park a burning car in a garage she told me what happened. A short distance (1/2 mile) from home the BAS/ASR light came on. When she pulled it in it was smoking and I was afraid it was going to start flaming. We had new brakes and rotors installed 2 months ago. Do you think the installation of the brakes and rotors contributed to this. It seems more than coincidental to me.
