Squeaky brakes *reference for new pads available*

Mine have just started squeaking again within the last couple of weeks. I guess the only real solution is to get new (non-Pug) grooved discs & pads.

Hi, new to the site and was extremley interested due to the whole squeeky brake problem - I am having the same issues both with the car and my dealer - my car is a 52 plate - 10k mileage and I am getting nowhere fast with the dealer, this problem has taken all the fun I used to get out of driving my cc away, its soo embarassing i am thinking of getting rid of the car, I really thought it was only my car that did this! - im sick of people staring at the car when i break!

Has anyone had any feedback from peugeot to see if they are accepting that this is a common problem as my dealer says its only my car!!!!

There are new pads that aren't meant to squeek, Reap (our resident Pug God) has been asked for the part number and has also put some of his own findings in the following post -

Many thanks for that info and link, I have been advised by my local dealer that they will write to peugeot on my behalf to see if they are willing to accept this on the warrenty - (not holding my breath!) but I have also emailed them myself so lets see what happens - watch this space, but I feel a watchdog email coming on!...

Suzanne, I contacted Pug UK about my squeaks. Hartwell in Dunstable looked and said they couldnt hear or find any fault, I then rang up another dealership and I was told that I'd have to pay for anything - even them looking at my brake pads!

Having contacted PUG UK, a guy called back to say they were unaware that this was a problem on these cars (yeah right!) and that I have to take it back to the garage - that failed to hear it on the first visit about this! They will look but if there is no manufacturing fault, they won't be able to do anything or anything for free. My cc is 9 months old with 3700 miles on the clock.

I too feel a swift email to Watchdog might get them to put their arses into gear and sort out this problem!

It is clearly a problem but they are reluctant to admit to this - something needs to be done! You don't pay nearly Â£15,000 to have a car with an added extra of squeaky brakes!

There is no way Peugeot don't know anything about this problem. Although certain dealers will probably try and market it as an anti theft device....can't steal it from outside your house if it is louder than Paris Hiltons bedsprings

The link above to Reap's post no longer works (at least not for me). Can someone put up a new link? Is there a permanent cure for squeaky brakes?

I have just bought a lovelu blue 206cc.... have been wanting one for ages... granted it is second hand 2003 reg... 36,000miles on the clock.....

breaks squeaked when test driving... told garage... said they would fix... took home... breaks squeaked... took back (had to pay for insurance transfer!!! and for petrol to hire car!!) got car back.... less petrol.... breaks squeak.... really annoying... warranty for me only three months.... what can I ask the garage to do???

Copaslip on the back of the pads and where they slide.

Really is there any damage or effect for the car. If not I ll try mine

Dead easy to do and has no effect on braking, in fact because I'm not cagiliy puting my foot on the brake (trying to avoid the squeeking) it gives you more guts to brake with confidence.
