  • Mercedes-Benz drivers expect “The best or nothing”. When it comes to safety, compromises are out of place. This test shows the comparison of Mercedes-Benz genuine brake pads with counterfeit brake parts. The results show that the latter cause a delayed braking effect and therefore a much longer stopping distance. Subscribe to Mercedes-Benz on RUclips: ruclips.net/user/subscription_c...
    Mercedes-Benz subjects all parts to extensive testing before they can call themselves Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts. And we attach particular importance to functionality and durability. Mercedes-Benz Service and Genuine Parts. Simply reliable.

    The counterfeits shown in the film are not high quality replacement parts from Mercedes-Benz or other legitimate suppliers, rather they are illegal counterfeits from product pirates. In almost all cases such counterfeits are of defective quality and do not meet minimum legal standards. Thus the counterfeit parts can become a danger for vehicle occupants or uninvolved third parties. The comparison of the braking distances took place under the same conditions at the same initial speed and the same braking point. The longer braking distance for the car with the counterfeit brake disks is the result of the defective quality that frequently occurs with counterfeit products.

      So is the mercedes benz brake disk also drilled? I get what your putting down but when you give a extreme braking test with aftermarket drilled rotors, brake wear is extremely high. What you should do is all 4 kinds of aftermarket vs oem. There are,
      Regular rotors,
      Drilled,
      Slotted,
      Drilled and slotted.

    As a Mercedes E-Class owner I gotta say their EBS (emergency braking system) literally saved my life in one instance...I never thought a big, heavy 4 door saloon car can stop so quickly from 140 km/h. I couldn't believe I didn't crash...I was shaking for 2 hrs after that just thinking about it.
    Only downside to their amazing brakes is the ammount of brake dust the ceramic compound produces....if you want to keep your wheels clean you have to wash them every 2 days.
    You clean the wheels spotless, then you brake hard a few times and they're covered in dust again LOL

They are the best in my opinion and cost a fraction of what VW charge for them when you buy them directly. The ones VW sell are identical but just come in a different box, with a VW stamp on it. The part number and the ATE logo are still on it.

      I once got a new rear view mirror for my former A class - it was not a original part. However, the merc logo on the plastic was simply melted away at the 3rd party part (it was melted away at the point where the old mirror glass had the logo), it was made by the same supplier as the original mirror glass.
      Merc isn't producing any brakes by their own - they buy from suppliers, like Lucas, ATE or Brembo. As long as you don't buy faked ebay brake pads the pads made by this suppliers and sold by aftermarket stores are as good as the original ones, since they are from the manufacturers which make the original ones

      If we look closer at 1:55, frame by frame you will see the suspession return to original position after the brake was released and then the suspenssion was compresed again (because the driver press the brake again ), the braking power applied on the pedal wasn't the same in both cars. The test to be fair, we need robots for braking pedal and we need to see the braking force applied on the brake pedal as the car in braking. MB as a manufacturer of cars and not only MB, will always say, buy parts from us, the aftermarket parts is a crap, ok, but we need to see if that aftermarket is crap.Compare 100$ with 100$ parts. We know if we buy 20$ parts insted of 100$ will be crap, no need for a video. We need to know if 100$ geniune parts is better than 100$ aftermarket parts. Please, MB do this :) !

      Mohamed, the brake light is LED, because of that, the brake light flicker ( it's about the frequency of the current ) and the video frequency (50 Hz or 60Hz), the brake light was on all the time. And for the brake light to be on, you only need to touch the brake pedal, and in this test you need to put lot of force on brake pedal to stop the car.

      Mercedes-Benz could you share a link of the counterfit brakepad that was not able to lock wheels even though all new Mercedes cars have a strong brake booster? I could only imagine this happening if you cover the brakepads with an advanced lubricant. Or if you worn them down completely before testing. Or if you overheated the brakes prior to testing. Or if there was air in the brake system. Or if the brake lines where leaking badly.
      Anyway, for evryones safety it would be best if you revieled what companys would make such bad brake pads. Although I have trouble believing that this isn't a rigged test.
      It's very true that cheap brake pads can overheat faster, causing brake fade, and wear down quicker. But your message seems to be "bending the truth" a lot

    The key, key reader and the door blocking mechanism gave up recently and we took it to Mercedes because they are the only ones who could fix the car, it was mad expensive to repair but still, brake pads, oil changes, transmission oil change, filters, normal maintenance parts and so on? We NEVER took it to Mercedes, and the car has almost half a million KMs on the engine without even opening it.

    There are counterfeit parts on the market but also aftermarket parts. I remember ordering for example a Hella sensor but instead I got a counterfeit no name sensor.
    . You can choose a producer that makes good rotors. For high performance applications the floating discs and sports callipers (4 pot or more) are much better, but it depends on the quality as well.
    You can get a good quality set of normal front discs (Φ335/32) for not more than 300€, and 150€ for the pads

    We can clearly see from the weight transfer of the vehicle tha in the genuine case braking applied 1-2 meters before the braking point. on the other hand in the counterfeit the braking takes place on the second yellow cone.Now if we see it from the top angle of camera the yellow cones are one car distance apart . in conlusion 1-2 meters before the braking point plus the second cone distance from start 5 meters at least we see that the difference in the braking start point is between 6-7 meters. These type of biased videos are bad for the reputation of the brand.

      The comparison of the braking distances took place under the same conditions at the same initial speed and the same braking point. The longer braking distance for the car with the counterfeit brake disks is the result of the defective quality that frequently occurs with counterfeit products.

    O.K. Let's put this into perspective. I'm a retired auto mechanic (Asian cars not German luxury) and fire truck builder now selling auto parts in handing out repair advice. I had to retire due to several injuries. There is a BIG difference between genuine, aftermarket, economy, and counterfeit. Genuine is what you buy at the dealership parts department. Counterfeit are parts that have been cleverly manufactured to LOOK like genuine replacement parts and packaged in boxes that LOOK EXACTLY like the ones you would get from the dealership parts department. These are usually available "on the street" but there have been some documented cases of counterfeit auto parts making their way to dealership parts departments. Aftermarket means the parts are made by manufacturers OTHER than the ones who supplied the factory. If those parts (in this case brake pads and rotors) are made by reputable manufacturers such as Raybestos, Albany, Beck Arnley, EBC, etc they are made to meet or EXCEED the original manufacturer's specifications. Economy is just that and you wouldn't want to put them on a Yugo much less a Mercedes! Owners of older German luxury cars have told me the dealership commanded prices as high as $200 for a set of brake pads! At my store a set of quality aftermarket brake pads for these cars will cost anywhere from $50 to $90 depending on the model. If the pads have built-in electronic wear sensors it's a bit more. But most of these owners of 10 , 15 , even 20 year old German cars luxury being of "limited economic means" always ask for the economy pads that cost between $10 and $25 a set! (assuming of course we even have them) When I try to steer them towards the better quality pads it's not because I get a commission (I don't) it's because I have their safety in mind! But they usually end up yelling "STOP TRYING TO UPSELL ME!".

    • @MercedesBenz
      @MercedesBenz  6 лет назад +1

      The counterfeits shown in the film are not high quality replacement parts from Mercedes-Benz or other legitimate suppliers, rather they are illegal counterfeits from product pirates. In almost all cases such counterfeits are of defective quality and do not meet minimum legal standards. Thus the counterfeit parts can become a danger for vehicle occupants or uninvolved third parties.

    • @recoveringnewyorker2243
      @recoveringnewyorker2243 6 лет назад

      Mercedes-Benz Speaking as a retired mechanic ,1000% AGREED! And this is been going on for a long time! Back in the late 1970s my brother was a cab driver (independent) and he bought what he thought was a case of genuine AC Delco oil filters "on the street." I told him he got scammed but being a young high school auto mechanics student at the time he didn't believe me. I went to an auto parts store and purchased a GENUINE AC Delco oil filter of the same part number. I then cut open the genuine and one of the street oil filters. The counterfeit oil filter had a filter medium in it that was little more than toilet paper while the genuine filter medium was thick and pleated.

    I think the pad can be true that it will wear up faster than the original one. But that doesn't mean that it will give less grip. Bcs the component still same from metal/organic based materials, so it really comes back to the piston and mechanical system of the brake itself. Well, you can try the alternative to buy a different product rather than use the fake ones.. Or use the fake one, but you have to maintain or even change it more frequently. Well, I'm using the original genuine parts (mitsubishi) but do not bought it on dealers, bcs yes, it would be waaayy more expensive.. Minimum twice the price on outside market.

Every 15,000 KM maintenance there has to be something to change either the pads, rotors or both. And that’s like $1000+. What’s more irritating is that labor costs more than parts at the stealership. And that’s “after a special discount,” mind you.

While the black car at 1:52 didn't start braking until the 4th yellow cone. You can tell because of car weight shifting forward and you can hear he applies the brakes much later. It is safe to say they would have performed similarly.

      This depends on many variables. We recommend you contact your
      dealer so that they can advise you further on your vehicle. 😉

      With those videos you are misleading costumers because they are a lot of different producers of brakes on a market and they are making excellent brakes. As a matter of fact even Mercedes, VAG, BMW are buying brakes from Brembo, TRW, ATE etc... With these videos you are showing that you want that costumer have to pay 30% more for same product only with Mercedes sticker on, because you want to make even more profit although you are making billions of Euros. Shame on you.

      pls try to test with the same dry road condition look at the first test with white cla, the road is completely dry shwn in the video. while the other one is not. of course abs will kick in wet road condition with longer braking distance.

    People: disc brakes are too hot when applied, Me: touching the discs of cars, motorbikes, cycles every time when applied.

    Mercedes you know that there is a feature called playback speed and that if you set it on 0.25 you can clearly see that the break lights of the second vehicle lighted up way later than the first one's right?

    A genuine product is the real product....all the more cost goes in ensuring safety is paramount.......bcoz after no one knows their products better than the manufacturer....and they always keeps a balance in everything....it's clearly evident in this video
