You do not have a 00' year model. When you use the Prime Symbol ' after a
number, it denotes FEET. When you use ' as an apostrophe, you are using
it
to replace what you are removing. Do not becomes don't. 2000 becomes
'00.
The pad life warning light comes on when the edge of the rotor cuts into
the
sensor and grounds the circuit. If the rotor is worn to the minimum
thickness, the light comes on sooner and the pads are thicker. If the
rotors
were replaced on your last pad change, the light comes on with very little
pad life left.
So in reality, this question cannot be answered with any true time or
mileage figures. Get the brakes replaced as soon as you can. You do not
want
the pads to reach the metal backing and ruin the rotors. You also do not
want to turn MB rotors. MB only gives you 1mm of wear per side of each
rotor. Do not use MB rotors below the wear limit!
As a MB dealer mechanic for 29 years, I can tell you NO pads stop as good
as
factory MB pads. There are pads out there that promise no brake dust, but
they fade when hot, do not stop when cold, squeak like a son of a *****,
or
just plain suck all around.
