Squeaky when stepping on brake pedal

Hey guys,

I have a 2002 C32 with 65,000 miles on my car, and every time I press on the brake pedal, there is a squeaking sound.

Has there been any diagnosis for this that anyone can help me out with?

Thanks in advance.

The sound is coming from the brake pedal every time I step on it. (Almost like a dophin sound).

If the pedal is squeaking, do you think it's got to do with break pads and fluids ?

I sprayed some WD-40 on to the pedal mechanism this morning and looks like the sound is gone.

More than likely you have some worn bushings on the pedal assembly. I seem to remember there being 2 small nylon bushings that over time will wear out and give you that squeaking noise. I have also found that sometimes this noise is caused by dirty brake fluid. I have seen this more often in the W211 cars but sometimes just by properly flushing the brake fluid, the squeaking noises go away.
