Description

Stop Right There! Your Guide to Brake Pad Brilliance (Featuring TRW)
> Alright, let's talk stoppers! Brake pads are your vehicle's unsung heroes, those clever bits of friction material that press against the brake disc, creating the magic needed to slow you down. But like anything working hard, especially in our tough Kiwi conditions or when you're hauling a full load in your Citroen Evasion or Peugeot Expert, they wear down over time. Ignoring knackered pads? That's a recipe for reduced stopping power, and nobody wants that on our roads!
Signs Your Pads Are Crying Out for Help
• Squealing, grinding, or metallic noises when braking.
• Increased stopping distances.
• Vibration or pulsation felt through the brake pedal.
• A soft or spongy brake pedal.
• Warning light on the dashboard (if equipped with wear sensors).
Will it pass WOF?
No. Severely worn brake pads, or pads that are below the manufacturer's minimum thickness, will result in a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) failure in New Zealand. Effective braking is a fundamental safety requirement.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wheel brace, spanner/socket set, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, brake cleaner, torque wrench, safety glasses, gloves.
Expert Recommendation
Bob @ CARFIX always recommends replacing brake pads when they show signs of wear to maintain optimal stopping power and safety. Neglecting worn pads can lead to damage to brake discs, increasing repair costs. TRW brake pads are an excellent choice, known for their quality, durability, and consistent performance, making them ideal for the demands of European vans and people movers. Bob @ CARFIX is always on hand to help you work out exactly what part you need for your Citroen, Peugeot, or Fiat. Make sure you head over to Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
These brake pads are designed for various Citroen, Peugeot, and Fiat models, including the Citroen Evasion (1994-2002), Peugeot 806 HDI 16V (1999-2002), Fiat Scudo JTD (2004-2006), and Peugeot Expert (2000-2006). Always cross-reference the specific vehicle details, including year, engine size, and chassis number, to ensure correct fitment, as variations can exist even within the same model range.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 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.
