FAQs

What does 'ECE R90 Approved' mean?

'ECE R90 Approved' signifies that these brake pads meet or exceed the performance and safety standards set by the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) for replacement brake linings. This ensures they perform comparably to the original equipment manufacturer's parts.

Are these brake pads suitable for all vehicles?

No, these are specifically for the rear axle and designed for particular vehicle models. You must verify compatibility with your vehicle's specifications using the part number 16985.

Do I need to buy a separate wear indicator?

These pads are *prepared* for a wear warning indicator. If your vehicle is equipped with one, you may need to transfer your existing indicator or purchase a new one separately, depending on its type and condition.

How do I install these brake pads?

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic. The process involves removing the old pads, ensuring the caliper and disc are clean, and fitting the new pads with the provided fastening material. Always follow professional automotive repair procedures.

What is the recommended bedding-in procedure?

After installation, a bedding-in procedure is often recommended. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from medium speeds without coming to a complete halt, followed by a period of cooling. Consult specific instructions from your mechanic or Febi if available.

What is the weight of this brake pad set?

The weight of the Febi Rear Brake Pad Set 16985 is approximately 1.924 kg.

Can I use these pads on the front axle?

No, these brake pads are specifically designed and approved for use on the rear axle only.

Troubleshooting

Squealing or Grinding Noise

This can sometimes occur during the bedding-in period. If the noise persists after proper bedding-in, check for pad and disc contamination, ensure correct pad seating, or consult a mechanic to rule out issues with the caliper or mounting hardware.

Reduced Braking Performance

Ensure the brake system is not contaminated with oil or grease. Verify that the brake discs are in good condition and not excessively worn. Check for any air in the brake lines or leaks in the hydraulic system. Professional inspection is recommended.

Wear Warning Light Remains On

Confirm that the wear warning contact is correctly installed and connected. If the light stays on after replacement, there may be an issue with the wiring or the sensor itself, requiring further diagnosis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These brake pads are intended for the rear axle of vehicles. Installation requires mechanical expertise and should be performed by a qualified mechanic. The set includes fastening material to aid in the installation process. Ensure the brake caliper and disc are clean and free from debris before fitting the new pads. Observe any specific service information provided by Febi or your vehicle manufacturer regarding installation and bedding-in procedures.

Compatibility: Part number 16985 is designed for specific vehicle applications. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchase. Consult your vehicle's owner manual or a parts catalog for confirmation.

Care: Brake pads are wear items. Regular inspection of brake pads and discs is recommended. Listen for any unusual noises (e.g., grinding, squealing) and check the wear warning indicator if equipped. Replace brake pads as a set on the same axle. These products are designed for their originally intended purpose and should not be modified.
