What Causes Spongy Brake Pedal In Your Mercedes
From Experts in Louisville
2
Mercedes is one of the most sought-after cars by
the Millennials.
3
The popularity of Mercedes can be gauged from the
number of cars one gets to see on the road of
Louisville.
4
However, of late, drivers have been complaining
about the spongy brake pedal in their Mercedes.
5
Here are the causes behind the spongy brake pedal
in your Mercedes.
6
Leaks in the brake line
7
One of the most common causes of a spongy brake
pedal is a brake line leak.
8
When the brake fluid leaks out, the fluid level
becomes too low to apply adequate force to the
brake pads.
9
This makes the brake pedal feel soft underfoot
with little to no resistance.
10
The main causes behind fluid leaks include damage
from road debris, corrosion, or simple wear
tear.
11
Air in the brake lines
12
Brake fluid is the only substance that should be
in your brake lines.
13
As the air gets into the brake system, the pedal
will feel spongy because there is not adequate
fluid present.
14
One potential cause of air in the system is the
natural wear and tear of your brake pads.
15
The thinner the pads get, the more fluid is
needed to transfer the force for your pedal.
16
Master cylinder wear
17
The master cylinder is the part of the braking
system that pushes the fluid through the brake
lines.
18
It does this by converting the force of your
foot pushing the pedal into hydraulic pressure
that moves the fluid.
19
Just like line wear can cause brake fluid
leakage, so can a worn master cylinder.
20
Leak from worn cylinders seals will lead to
insufficient pressure from the pedals and cause a
spongy feel.
21
Conclusion
22
The above-mentioned factors are some of the
causes behind the spongy brake pedal in your
Mercedes.
23
Take your Mercedes to a certified repair shop for
fixing the brake issues.
