    Just bought a 2015 mercedes c class and over the last few weeks I've noticed a persistent squeeking from the rear brakes. Very little milage on the car and disks look clean to me.
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced similar issues with this new model mercedes w205 ?

    What condition are the pads in? While it may have low milage the previous owner could have been hard on the brakes. If the pads have plenty of life left in them then they just need some copper grease put on the back of them.

    yes this. If it's what I call brake squeal, it's the pads vibrating . Anti squeal shims is what my car has, but copper grease would do the job just as well.
