Hi. My C180 Kompressor seems to always have the parking brake partially on.

Feels like swimming against the tide. And I think it's burning more gas as a result. Any ideas?

I can assure you that if the parking brake was applied, after a few miles, the friction material would be rapidly worn away, to the point where it no longer had any friction on the hub.

I'd be looking elsewhere. Perhaps at sticking brake calipers.

(As a side-note however, this is the CLK forum.)
