I have limited knowledge of cars so I need your expertise. I have 2 alerts on my dashboard that indicates the below:
1. Wheel Sensor Missing - Front Right 2. Check Brake Wear - The brakes were recently fixed by a mechanic but doesn't look like he reset the sensors. A second mechanic checked today and said the brakes are new but I need a sensor.
I found this brake sensor on Amazon and need some advice if this is the correct one:
Call the parts dept of any MB dealership, give them your VIN and ask for part number. Then search the Internet or that part. I would also be going back to the mechanic and asking about the brake sensor. Sounds like he forgot something and should either make it right or give you some money back. Not likely getting money back, but that wouldn't stop me from complaining.
Wheel sensors are your tire pressure monitoring system sensors. The batteries give out in them. Despite what some people will tell you, you do not need OEM sensors and they do not need to be programmed for your car. Any reputable tire shop will be able to provide and install them for you. In the US, the sensors can be found for as inexpensive as $15. The tire shop will have to remove the tires to put the new sensors in. If one of the sensors has died, chances are the other 3 are not far behind. Replace all 4.
Thanks. I appreciate your answer. Let me try calling MB Dealership first and see what they say, and then I'll look for the parts online. Appreciate all the responses here. Thanks!
