Re: Noisy Brakes S80 2000

OK... final (?) part of the story (at least for now). When I pushed harder on the dealership about this issue, they said, "gee - it turns out you don't really have 35-40% left on your front brake pads, but only 20%. We now recommend you replace them." My rear pads are 75% remaining (pretty amazing for a Volvo!).

Anway, I did replace the front pads, and for now, the problem has disappeared (at least temporarily). I guess since my front pads lasted nearly 18K miles, I cannot complain about that, but it was truly annoying when my dealer acted like 'hey - squeeky brakes are normal on Volvos - just live with it'.
