Front and rear axle brake system squeals when applying light braking force

If the above fault occurs, it may be associated with the brake lining wear indicator. When applying light braking force, the thermal contact on the brake disk may drag, thereby causing an unpleasant squeal. In this case, the thermal contacts must be checked and, if required, replaced with the new versions.

OE part number: front thermal contact 34356778037

rear thermal contact 34356778038

HELLA spare part numbers

Brake lining thermal contact, front axle: 8DK 355 250-201

Repair note

In this case, it is advisable to check the brake disks and brake linings for wear and, if necessary, replace them.
