- C Class Diesel Avantgarde Estate
Hello folks,
some 6 months ago I had the brakes on my c220 avantgarde SE estate completely serviced front and rear, all pads and discs replaced etc. The reason for this was that the brakes had begun to operate unevenly and were worn.
After the service the brakes were better but not completely so and I was advised to bear with it for a while. The situatioin has now in fact worsened as they now judder, especially when the vehicle is loaded.
I get this chat from the servicing engineers about "how long the car has stood without being used" etc etc, when in fact I have been using it with the family on holidays, although it has had the odd week standing in the drive.
Am I to expect this problem to keep re-appearing every few months? If so I reckon there is either a design fault or a problem peculiar to my car. I can't afford to keep having the brakes done every few months.
Any suggestions as to how this problem can be fixed?
