I went to buy back brake pads and the guy asked me if I had smething called acceleration controll or w\e

I asked if he was asking about traction controll and he said "basicly yes"

my brothers 99 c280 has a swich on the dash board but mine doesnt, does this mean mine doesnt have it or do old models just dont have a swich??

can you recommand some brake pads, I wasnt able to buy me some today coz I wasnt sure if my car has tc

To the best of my knowledge, yes, it does have a TC system, but no switch. I think the 500E models have a similar setup until 1995, but I may be wrong.

my 94 c280 has no switch, which means it has no electronic traction/stability control at all, yours is probably the same, it was an option to have tc

Hmm, they may have stopped doing that in 1992. Anyway, here is a link to the 500e I was talking about, the ASR defeat thing should provide some information on the topic. It's about midpage down.
