Brake pads
I've been searching for my answer but I can't find it.
I have a 2003 c230k how many sensors do I need to get at the dealership so I can change the pads myself? Is there one for each caliper?
Thanks

Only one sensor, in passenger's side inner pad.
(Although, if your sensor didn't activate - and you don't damage it during pad removal, you can reuse the existing sensor)

Where can I get OEM AMG Brake Pads? And what components do they include, maybe I can try searching the web for each components. And if anyone has done it - or at least knows the pricing, just let me know, thanks.
I have a C320, just in case that makes a difference.

But, just for reference, OEM pads are usually made by PAGID and/or one other company (can't remember the name off the top of my head).

Hope this doesn't qualify as hijacking the thread, but my "brake lining wear, visit workshop" message just came on as well, and I find that I can't "dismiss" it, like I can with a "low fuel", or "light out" message. I figured i would wait till I put my winter wheels on to do the brakes, but the message is driving me crazy, blocking my speedo, odo, clock, etc. Is it supposed to do that?

yeah, but unlike "low fuel", you can't just page by it and get on with your life. It keeps coming back (unless your foot is on the brake), which is a b*tch when your trying to see your miles travelled or the clock or something.

Had the sensor "activated", that is, produced the "brake wear" alert, before you reused it? I was under the impression that once it alerts, it's toast.

For a $3 sensor, I'd say it's better to be safe than sorry. If it worked for Johnny one time, doesn't necessarily mean that it will consistently be that way for all the other sensors.
