Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Sorted with TRW
> Brake pads, eh? Absolutely crucial for keeping your Porsche or Volkswagen safe, especially when you're hauling around in a Cayenne, Panamera, or Touareg. They wear down over time thanks to heat and friction, especially with all that stop-start driving we do.

• Reduced braking responsiveness
• Dashboard warning light illuminated
• Visible wear or damage on the brake pads
• Increased stopping distance
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads? That's a no-go for a WOF in New Zealand. They need enough thickness to stop you safely. Have a squiz at the Land Transport NZ guidelines for the nitty-gritty.
DIY or Workshop?

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those brakes, let's make sure you're all set. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: No one wants brake dust or cleaner in their eyes. Grab a pair of safety glasses; they're cheap as chips and could save you a trip to the doctor.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those mitts clean! Brake dust is nasty stuff. A good set of Nitrile Gloves will do the trick.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that carbon dust and grime. A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate here.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents annoying squeals.

Fitment Notes
Make sure you've got the right brake pads for your Porsche Cayenne, Panamera, or Volkswagen Touareg. Some models have different brake setups depending on the trim. Always do both sides of the axle for even braking. No point in doing a half-arsed job, is there?

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4487S) 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.
