Ml270 2004 Squeking Brakes
I have little mechanical knowledge and fear i have paid the price for not having brakes changed at Merc garage.
I had the work done at Kwick fit.They fitted complete sets of pads,discs and sensors and give lifetime guarantee on brakes.
Thought squeaking was down to new parts and waited approx 2 months and took it back.
More new pads and discs fitted,again squeaking, but not as bad.
Have now waited approx 3 months and its unbearable.
I have just phone kwick fit and they have said to bring it back and they will try adifferent brand of brakes rather than Unipart.
I asked about the greasing and they said they will have a look.
I can see me taking it back to a merc garage if this doesnt work

Have you tried hosing out the brake dust with a high pressure water sprayer. Sometimes the build up of the excessive brake dust will have the effect complained of.
