In the video, the MB owner purchased a caliper on eBay or a similar website. It was supposedly rebuilt and in working condition. The owner installed it on the car themselves, but the car had to be brought to the shop.

The technician discovered that the owner had placed it on the wrong side and had to put it on the correct one. Afterward, the mechanic added a new caliper on that side. Three weeks later, the Mercedes-Benz owner returned, complaining as the brake fluid light was on, and he had brake fluid coming out of the left rear, and that’s because of the caliper he bought online.
