W204 brakes

[Mbstarz]

Hi all

I'm getting a squeaky sound when applying my brakes. And think it's coming from the rear. I take it these are the wear indicators and pads need replacing.... Or do I wait for some sort of warning in dash like the tyre pressure message??

Also what is a good price to pay for genuine pads inc labour at a good independent for rear pads??

Thanks

I expect it will be caused by either worn discs or cheap pads.

About £250 for both fitted.

Hello, I've got similar issue (CGI180, 2010 on 60 plate) but mine is coming from the front. Been advised to change front discs and pads and rear pads. Please What are the best brake sets to get, I've been quoted by Halfords and others garages for Delphi brakes £500+ for the job, but am skeptical about going ahead with those. Another garage has offered to do the job if I have the parts, so advise is highly welcome. Cheers

Go to your local MB specialist. Bin halfords off.
Fit genuine only if you want min hassle.

easy to say, halfords was just a brake check and I have no intention of using them.
Am just checking to see what is the safe after market brakes to put on, the mechie who services my car at Mercedes has left n advised me to get Brembo, any idea how good the are?

As said above fit O.e they cost roughly the same so no need to fit brembo or other aftermarket kits.

Thanks for the info, the Brembo brakes came recommended by the mechie that services my car at the mb garage here in Aberdeen.
So am on the confused.com lane now. eBay is it trusted though? I can buy other things but brakes r life n death, so can't mess around.
