This warning light just came up on the dash yesterday, what does it mean? Is it really that serious? I just lowered my car on the H&R Cup Kit with 19" Lowenhart LDRs, can this be the cause? What should I do from here?

Thanks,
Mark

Just go to the dealer and tell them that you got this warning.

Is it the "Check Engine" light or is it just the yellow triangle with the exclamation point in the middle of the cluster?

All that means is that your front brake pads have work past to the sensors and should be replaced soon.

I bought my CLK recently. Dealer changed front break pads the same day. Here the other day I got the "Brake Lining Wear" message. Today when I started the car the message was gone. Anyone experienced the message coming only for a brief time ?

I've never had this issue come up on my car, However I read this thread from the w210 family....
brake lining wear is simply your brake pads, i would never use an after market pad they are no good at all, get pagid or textar both oem pads, you can go to benzbin.com and they have nice parts... make sure to measure the rotors with a micrometer to make sure they arent below minimum... most rotors now adays only get two sets of pads before you need to get new rotors or about 50k miles...

So in short you may have to get in pads/rotors and sensors.

Hi Tommy,
I have experienced this problem twice.
> The break-pad was too worn out, i.e. i bought new pads and changed it myself however the "Break lining wear" was still visible.
I then bought 1 sensor for each pad (like a match stick that is inserted into the break pad and connected to a jacket in the wheel hub) then everything worked fine and the symbol has not appeared since
Possible problems:
a) The sensor is not installed
b) The sensor is worn out and need to be replaced (it is pretty easy)

Best regards

I have put new (Genuine) rotors, brake pads and sensors on my 2000 S500 W220 and I still get the brake pad wear warning come up.
I have just changed, (within the last hour) both pad wear sensors and cleared the fault code but as soon as I start the car, the message comes up again.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
