Brakes

[Mark W]

I have got a 02 Galaxy 19TDI auto, my problem is on the first 10,000 service the dealers changed the rear brakes pads as the brake warning light was on, since the service, I have had a problem with the brakes squeaking, but only when they are warmed up? I have taken the car back to the dealer three times now to check the brakes and disc, each time they cant find anything wrong, but each time they rub the pad and disc slightly in case there is any glazed built up but every time soon as the brakes are warm they start squeaking again. Anyone got any ideas? I have given up with the dealer because I know its going to come exactly the same. Now every time I drive it, the brakes are doing my head in. :)

yep a softer compound of pad whenever i fit rear pads at work i am supposed to fit mintex,but these squeel to high heaven when hot,personally the ONLY make of pad which i have had no trouble with is LUCAS not too hard and not too soft,some pads are full of brass and copper amongst other things,and so far i have had no complaints whatsoever.

CHANGE THOSE PADS

Thanks Andy,

Any idea what the Ford dealer would fit, they could tell you anything while you are in the reception. This car is on Motability so it serviced and looked after by the local Ford dealer.

Cheers,

Mark

Generally motorcraft pads,it all depends if the pads are chamfered on the lead and trailng end of the pad, genuine ford pads are normally good and give little or no greif.
