FAQs

What is ECE R90 Approval?

ECE R90 is a European regulation that ensures replacement brake pads meet the same performance standards as original equipment (OE) parts in terms of safety, performance, and durability.

How does the acoustic wear warning work?

The acoustic wear warning is a small metal tab integrated into the brake pad. As the pad wears down, this tab makes contact with the brake disc, producing a high-pitched noise to alert you that the pads need replacing.

Are brake fitting instructions included?

Typically, fitting instructions are not included with Febi brake pad sets. Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional who is familiar with brake system procedures.

What is the purpose of the anti-squeak plate?

The anti-squeak plate is designed to absorb vibrations between the brake pad and the caliper bracket, helping to reduce or eliminate common brake noise like squealing.

Can I use these pads on the front axle?

No, this is a rear brake pad set specifically designed for the rear axle of compatible Opel Insignia models. Front and rear brake pads are different and not interchangeable.

How often should I check my brake pads?

It is recommended to have your brake pads inspected at every regular service interval, or more frequently if you notice any changes in braking performance, unusual noises, or if the wear warning indicator is active.

Troubleshooting

Brake squeal after installation

Ensure the anti-squeak plate is correctly installed and that the brake caliper components are clean and properly lubricated. Sometimes, a bedding-in process is required for new pads.

Brake warning light is on

This could indicate a worn brake pad sensor (if applicable to your model) or a more significant brake system issue. Consult a mechanic immediately.

Reduced braking effectiveness

Check brake fluid level, inspect rotors for damage or wear, and ensure brake pads are not excessively worn. Professional inspection is recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Verification: Before purchase, it is crucial to verify that this brake pad set is compatible with your specific Opel Insignia A, Country Tourer, or Sports Tourer model and its manufacturing year (2008-2017). Refer to your vehicle's documentation or consult a professional.

Installation: Installation of brake pads should only be performed by a competent individual or a qualified mechanic. Due to the safety-critical nature of braking systems, incorrect installation can lead to serious accidents. Please note that products are typically supplied without fitting instructions.

Care: Regular inspection of brake pads is recommended during routine vehicle maintenance. Visually check for wear and ensure the anti-squeak plate is properly seated. If any unusual noises or braking performance issues are detected, have the brake system inspected immediately by a professional.
