SBC repair — Mercedes Sensotronic brake pumps

Red brake warning, grey 'visit workshop' message, C249F and related codes on W211 E-Class, W219 CLS and R230 SL — the SBC pump is the most documented repair on our bench.

The Sensotronic Brake Control pump counts its own brake operations and eventually flags itself for replacement — long before the dealer-only price tag makes any sense. We repair and rebuild these units on your original hardware, reset the counters properly, and prove the pump before it goes back on the car.

SBC work now lives on its own dedicated workshop site, with current pricing, exchange-unit stock and online booking:

  • SBC rebuild (your unit, by post or collection) — £430
  • Exchange refurbished unit£700
  • Complete on-car service (repair, refit, bleed — usually same-day) — from £650
