Gratting Brakes on the 200

[rs 1an]

Does anyone else have noisy brakes, ive just done 3k miles and it seems other than change the pads im stuck with it, does anyone else use muc-off wheel cleaner?

its a common problem that the brakes on 197's and 200's stick/seize,they need to be stripped,cleaned and relubed once a year to keep them operating at there best ime

Yep I had this last year on the old 197, same sort of weather. Strip them down good clean up an abit of copper slip grease.

Thanks, can anyone recommend a make of pads which are less likely to do this, perhaps more driving and less washing is the problem, makes the 2year first service with renault a bit unrealistic.

Tbh I just used Renault pads, I only had the problem with the rear brakes. Also lube the handbrake cables on the calipers end.

I'd probably steer clear of Copper slip. It attracts the build up of dust etc.

Yeah true say, I've only seen that a problem when it's plastered on plus the rear brakes themselves don't seem to generate much dust.
