brakes over heating

Hi

i am facing this problem in my 300e 24 valva
my brakes get extremely hot and makes a queasy sound as a result for that i lose totally the braking power.

i did in 1 year around 20,000 KM in which i changes the braking disks twice and the pads 6 times (all original parts). and it is always the same problem.

is it a main problem or what?
any help?

In all this screwing around with disc's and pads did you ever think of checking whether the calipers were function correctly!!

Think about this for a day--what's in the system-----what turns---what braking action causes the car to slow down---therefore if you never actuated the brake pedal nothing would wear!!

However if you actuated the brake---- pressure would move the brake pad toward the disc------when you remove the foot from the brake pressure is reuced and the caliper returns the pad to its starting point------you have a issue with calipers---Change mechanics!!
