Hey MB crowd,

I hope I can get some help here. I am driving a 2012 CL65 AMG and it has 30 000 km on it. I have change the break pads before but never the brake discs.

The front and the rear discs are drilled, but the wholes in the front brake are totally clogged now. I went to MB authorized dealer from where I bought the car and said that is normal. However I really doubt that since I can feel that the stopping power of the car has decreased over the last 10000km.

I am uploading some pics of the front and rear discs.

Thanks in advance!

The holes in the discs fill up with brake dust very quickly. Your discs look fine.

Correct. If you so desire you can unclog them with a pressure washer (avoid spraying the calipers) but that is not your problem. The holes are strictly for looks and filling them up has no effect on braking.

If you wore out your pads in 20k miles you must be an aggressive driver. I suggest replacing your braking fluid as a precaution.

Thanks a lot guys, this is what the mechanics told me as well, but a friend of mine who is driving s65 told me he had the same problem and they had to change the discs.

Thanks anyways!

They are fine. Take a brake from looking at those breaks......
