Brake ~ Recall, the truth!?

Hello, I rang my preferred local Dealer KAP, very helful. Just to clarify the brake recall situation.

It only applies to 1.6's!! :rolleyes: Does the 2.0 not have brakes??

Apparently the squeak is caused by brake pads not containing abestos anymore! and all dealers and makers have the squeak problem!?.

The recall replaces the pads but in your services the wheels are removed for the pads to be inspected and are cleaned thoroughly to reduce the squeak.

Good luck

Did they say what year of cars this is being done to? I haven't recieved a recall yet?

Mines just had the 20k mile service and the squeak has reduced but is still there!?
Didn't expect anymore from them though.
:rolleyes:

they admit to not being able to curing the squeak but they believe they can reduce the squeak!!

Sorry don't know what years it relates to, but knowing peugeot those that haven't had any recall before

if they only clean it, you may as well make an appointment for the next day also, because they will squeak again that soon... Believe me, i've been there.

Problem is now solved during the the use of anti-squeak pads my dealer installed.

I had my new front tyres fitted yeaterday (Continental Ecos as used on the 306) and my squeak has reduced now

. I got my local tyre people to clean my pads and all is OK just need the backs to be done noow.

Don't understand why its only Peugeot wit this problem

My SLK brakes never squeek unlike my old CC, assuming non asbestos brakes are now a EU directive I fail to see why my car should be squeekless (don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining)

However, 6 months down the line my SLK roof now creaks like mad - even more than my old CC

apparently its also a known problem with the SLK - ah well :rolleyes:

I know what you mean I work in a used car garage and only 1 or 2 squeak like my CC and I have driven 100s of cars in the last few months. Why Peugeot cannot sort this out I don't know.

My local garage didn't mention that the brake recall was for 1.6 versions only, mines a 2.0 SE and I was told to expect a recall on the brakes in the near future. Think I'll give them a call just to check the situation, it wouldn't be the first time they've got things wrong.
