I hope you got the good German brake pads for you = Syncro.  Don't put anything that doesn't say "Made in = Germany" in there.  It's not worth it.  I just pulled = out a set of Bendix (sp?) that my mechanic had put in 10 months and = 8000 miles ago.  He swore up and down that those are the best = brake pads in the world. 

A few weeks ago my Bus developed a squeak on the = right front wheel.  The squeak went away when I stepped on the = brakes.  It turns out that all the brake pads were = cracked!

Good luck,
