Did you buy the oe pads from Merc parts department, or elsewhere? Recently been using Valeo, Ate or ferrodo from reputable sources and making sure that the pads are real and not copies/fakes.

Had Pagid pads on when I bought it and swapped recently (6/700 miles ago) for some genuine Merc ones which have been cooking after 10/15 minutes of reasonably colorful driving. The Pagids weren’t so awful but still faded quite suddenly.

Just seen your edit... got the merc pads from a legit garage who specialize in older mercs so would expect them to be genuine

Having really bad brake fade with the OEM pads on my 190 at the moment, does anyone have a recommendation for pads which won’t cook after 10 minutes of hard driving?
Am swapping the discs out for some drilled Brembo numbers but thought I may aswell get decent pads at the same time.
