1990 190E--->> Break squeal

I've got to push my brake pedal fairly hard to brake and seeing that I've got new pads, it must be my rotors that have become to thinn - I believe about 19mmm is minimum. Anyway, i checked the MB rotor price and it is CAN$60 or about US$45 or so each. So, no point in turning them. If you put them on yourself - very easy job - you will spend less than US100

Thanks for this info man. I am probably gonna end up doing this myself as you suggested and be on to enjoying this great car.

Great car?! Pfft. Mine gave me nothing but trouble, one maintenance issue after another.

Back to original topic. Having to push hard on one's brake pedal can also mean that there are air bubbles in the brake fluid system.

Bought mine straight from the German Factory and I've always kept maintenance up. True, if you had a really bad previous owner, then like any car, you are going to have problems.

As far as I am concerned, my experience w/ the 190E has been nothing but magnificent.

I have owned a 190 E for some time now. 100K miles and still a great car! Would not trade it for anything but an SLR.

I thought brake squeal arises from dust between the pads and disc.
