Specification Overview

Genuine Mercedes-AMG front brake pad set, engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with the AMG Sport Brake Package. These are high-performance braking components manufactured to OEM specifications by Mercedes-AMG’s original equipment suppliers (Brembo / Pagid / ATE). These brake pads deliver the superior stopping power, aggressive bite, and fade resistance demanded by AMG’s high-performance engineering.

• Type: High-performance brake pads – AMG Sport specification

• Friction Material: High-performance low-metallic / ceramic compound (variant dependent)

• Features: High thermal resistance, aggressive bite, fade-resistant

• OEM Suppliers: Brembo / Pagid / ATE

⚠️ Critical Note: AMG Sport brake systems use larger diameter brake discs and high-performance calipers. Standard brake pads are not compatible with AMG Sport brake systems. Always verify the correct part number by VIN (17-digit chassis number) and option codes before ordering.

Application & Engine Fitment

A0004206804 – 45 AMG Models (4-Cylinder M133 / M139):

A0004209100 – 43 AMG Models (V6 Biturbo M276 / M256):

A0004209200 – 63 AMG Models (V8 Biturbo M177 / M178):

⚠️ Important: The AMG Sport Brake Package is identified by option code P31 (AMG Sport Package) or U29 (Sport Brake System). Always verify the correct part number by VIN and option codes before ordering.

Brake Pad Wear Sensor

The AMG Sport brake system uses the same wear sensor as standard brake systems.

⚠️ Important: The sensor is a single-use component and must be replaced with every brake pad change. Attempting to reuse the sensor will result in a permanent dashboard warning light.

Service Life & Change Intervals (Technical Data)

Standard Recommended Interval:

• 20,000 – 35,000 km (front pads) under normal driving conditions

• AMG brake pads are softer and wear faster than standard pads due to higher performance compounds

Critical Adjustment for Kampala (Severe Operating Conditions):
The operational climate (ambient temperatures 20°C–40°C), high humidity, stop-and-go urban traffic, and frequent braking classify as “Severe Duty” per MB Work Instructions. Under these conditions, AMG brake pad wear accelerates significantly.

Recommended Replacement Interval under East African operating parameters:

• Maximum: 15,000 – 25,000 km (front pads)

• Heavy urban use (taxis, fleets, daily city driving): 15,000 km recommended

• Aggressive driving / track use: 10,000 km recommended

• Replace as a set: Always replace both left and right sides simultaneously

Failure Symptoms – When to Replace:

• Dashboard brake wear warning light illuminated

• Squealing or screeching noise when braking (wear indicator contact)

• Reduced braking performance or increased pedal travel

• Visible pad thickness less than 3mm

• Pulsation or vibration through brake pedal (warped discs – replace discs simultaneously)

⚠️ Important: When replacing AMG brake pads, always inspect the brake discs (rotors). AMG Sport brake systems use larger diameter discs (typically 360mm – 390mm). If discs are scored, worn below minimum thickness, or warped, they must be replaced simultaneously. The wear sensor must always be replaced with the pads.

Technical Notes for the Workshop

• Variant Selection: The correct pad set depends on the vehicle’s AMG brake system (45 AMG, 43 AMG, or 63 AMG). Always verify by VIN and option codes before ordering.

• Installation: AMG brake pads may have different installation procedures than standard pads. Refer to the vehicle-specific service manual.

• Sensor Type: The wear sensor is single-use. The dashboard warning light will remain illuminated if the sensor is reused.

• Bedding-In Procedure: After installation, perform 10–15 moderate stops from 50 km/h to 30 km/h to bed the new pads and discs. Avoid harsh braking for the first 200 km.

• Genuine vs. Aftermarket: Genuine MB-AMG brake pads are manufactured to OEM specifications. Equivalent aftermarket brands:

  • Brembo (Original Equipment Supplier for AMG)

  • Pagid (T2556 / T8015)

  • ATE

• Storage: Store in a dry environment away from direct sunlight.

• Compatibility Note: These pad sets are not compatible with standard brake systems. Always verify by VIN (17-digit chassis number) before ordering.
