C63 AMG W204 brake bleeder valve
Evening Guys & Gals,
I bled my 2014 C63 W204 yesterday and all was going smoothly till the very last bleeder valve on the front right axle, i used my 11m flare nut spanner and as I turned it nothing started coming out into my bottle, I made sure I had enough pressure in the pressure bottle as I’m doing it solo and even pumped the brakes but no luck.
I decided to commit and unscrewed the valve even more and brown gunk started dribbling out and down the caliper, I left it and a few moments later and brake fluid started gushing out at which point nut went back on.
Long story short I have no idea what the part number is for this valve, it’s the one closest to you if you’re facing the wheel on the top of the caliper.
Failing being able to buy a replacement would it be best to clean it and if so how? Brake cleaner and tub job? Would it even be able to get saved.
anyway appreciate any help as I’m not a mechanic I just enjoy doing work on my own cars like I’m sure most of you do to.
edit: I’m also in the uk so it’s RHD not that I think it makes any difference.
Cheers

I think you need to wash the callipers with soapy water pronto if you have not done so already the brake fluid takes off the paint on the calliper.
A photo of that bleeder would help, but I think they will be all the same and available through your dealer.

There's no picture, but I think this is it: https://www.mbonlineparts.com/oem-pa...YtM2wtdjgtZ2Fz
You should be able to get it from your local dealer using that part number. It's cheap, so just replace the valve.

just put something small like a paper clip through the bleeder. Sounds like it wasn't just a clogged bleeder as with it removed fluid barely trickled out of the caliper. Sounds like you haven't done a brake flush a in a long time. Recommended every 2 yrs. No need to replace any parts as you cleared out the clog.
