Peugeot 206 CC Brakes - susan
Hope someone can help with any info poss!

In June last year bought a 206cc which was a year old for just under £15k. Over the past 7 months I have had several problems which have been fixed but for some reason my local \'friendly!!\' Peugoet dealer cannot seem to fix the screcching noise coming from my front brakes. So far In September they \'DE-GLAZED?\' the brake pads that came with the car, this did not work so it was suggested that I either put up with the noise or buy new brake pads. So I bought the new brake pads. About a month later they started with the god awful noise again! Took the car into the garage and waited for their call. Turns out they had to DE-GLAZE my new brake pads! this was because sometimes when brakepads are put on incorretly this is what happens??? Drove out of the garage and the next day the same noise occuring again. Am so fed up with being taken for a ride, I love my car but had enough.

Anyone else had any similar problems?

It is unlikely brake pads are fitted incorrectly.from what you said de glazed it means the pads where rubbed down surface to sides.that wont mean the pad is not suffering.slight distortion
on the back of disc pad is a possible cause ie the pad has not been given something like copperslip it will get rid of any problems in that respect so I doubt what you have been told?

Could be wrong let me know.
