With Perrot calipers, "Perrot" will be cast into the brake caliper.

Cheers,

Re: Brake pad help

I believe that you can do two things:

Get your complete VIN into this website: http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb.asp

And remove a front wheel, get yourself a bucket with water and a rug and clean thoroughly the brake calipers, removing all grit/dirt and you'll see who manufactured them.

I can think of Ferodo, Jurid, Textar and Perrot...
