Question CLK 500 problem
My wife's CLK has squeeling rear brakes that 'service' tells me is normal.

"Just clean the dust from between the pads with a hose".

What the f*ck does that mean?

A buddy of mine had the same problem with his ML and the dealer replaced them for free.... Have you tried talking with the Sales (not service) manager?

Cool
The front pads and rotors were changed under warrenty after I called MB a few months ago.

I called about the rears yesterday.

If squeel only when braking, put some disc brake quiet on the shimms and change pads if needed. Roughen up the rotor by light Sanding may help too.

Finally brought it back in cause the hose thing didn't work.
They 'deglazed' and it's all better.
