Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Get it Sorted with TRW
> Brake pads are a seriously important wear item, eh? Especially on your VW Kombi or Transporter. Over time, they wear down from all that stopping and starting, meaning your braking won't be as sharp. Keep your van safe, especially if you're hauling gear or the family!
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a stuck pig when you hit the brakes?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• That pesky brake pad warning light's lit up on the dash?
• Pads look a bit sad and worn during your checks?
• Seeing weird wear patterns on the pads?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a quick way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. They need to be thick enough to do their job properly. Check the official Land Transport NZ guidelines to be sure.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, mate, a few things to keep in mind:
• Safety First: Never, ever get under a vehicle supported only by a jack! Use proper jack stands. Safety glasses are a no-brainer to keep that brake dust out of your eyes, too.
• Keep it Clean: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Grab some Brake Cleaner spray to blast it away from the brake parts. Trust me, your lungs will thank you.
• Hand Protection: Those brake parts can be rough on the skin. A pair of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected.
• Grease is the Word: Use a dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the brake pad contact points. This helps prevent squealing and keeps everything moving smoothly.
Expert Recommendation
Changing your brake pads regularly is vital for keeping your VW Kombi or Transporter safe and reliable. Especially if you're carting passengers or gear around. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances, which is never a good thing. Bob @ CARFIX is always here to help you find the exact part you need. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check the pads fit your exact Kombi or Transporter model and year. Some models have different brake setups. Always replace pads in pairs (both sides of the same axle) so your braking is even.
Bob's tip: When you're done, give those brakes a good test in a safe area before hitting the open road!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle;Transporter, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4208S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
