This Bosch Front Brake Pad Set (0986494844) is designed for vehicle owners seeking enhanced braking performance and safety on the front axle. Its key benefit is the integrated wear indicator, providing timely alerts for replacement. A potential caveat is the need to verify vehicle fitment using the compatibility checker, as this set is specifically designed for TRW brake systems.

The set features an integrated wear indicator. When this indicator is significantly worn or a warning light illuminates on your dashboard, it's time to replace the pads.
No, these pads are specifically designed for vehicles with TRW brake systems on the front axle. Always use the vehicle compatibility checker to ensure fitment for your specific car.
ECE-R90 is a European standard that ensures the brake pads perform equivalently to the original equipment (OE) parts in terms of safety, stopping power, and lifespan.
The pads have a height of 69mm, a length of 172mm, and a thickness of 17mm.
Brake system work requires specialized knowledge and tools. It is highly recommended to have these pads installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper function.
The wear indicator is a small metal tab that contacts the rotor when the brake pad material reaches a minimum thickness, creating an audible squeal to alert the driver that replacement is needed.
This can be caused by worn pads (check wear indicator), improper installation, or debris between the pad and rotor. Ensure pads are correctly seated and rotors are clean. If noise persists after proper bedding-in, consider replacement.
Check pad thickness against the wear indicator. Ensure there are no air bubbles in the brake fluid and the hydraulic system is functioning correctly. Contaminated pads or rotors can also reduce effectiveness.
This often indicates that the brake pads have reached their minimum thickness and the wear indicator has made contact. Schedule an immediate inspection and replacement.
Compatibility: This brake pad set is specifically designed for vehicles equipped with TRW brake systems on the front axle. It is crucial to use the vehicle compatibility checker provided to confirm that part number 0986494844 is suitable for your specific car model and year. Cross-reference numbers include APEC PAD1930, ATE 13 0460 2611 2, Brembo P24152, Delphi LP2661, Ferodo FVR4661, Girling 6119671, and Hella 8DB 355 020-691.
Setup: Installation of brake pads should be performed by a qualified mechanic. It involves removing the wheels, disassembling the brake caliper, replacing the old pads with the new Bosch set, and reassembling the caliper. Ensure all components are clean and properly lubricated where necessary. Bedding in the new pads according to manufacturer or mechanic recommendations is essential for optimal performance.
Care: Regular visual inspection of the brake pads is recommended. Pay attention to the integrated wear indicator; if it is significantly worn or the warning light illuminates, the pads require replacement. Keep the braking system clean from excessive dust and debris. Avoid harsh braking immediately after installation to allow the pads to bed in properly.
