Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does ECE-R90 certification mean for these brake pads?

ECE-R90 certification signifies that these brake pads meet or exceed the performance standards set by European regulations, ensuring they are a reliable and safe replacement for original equipment parts.

How do the electric wear indicators work?

The integrated electric wear sensors have a small metal tab. As the brake pad wears down, this tab makes contact with the brake rotor, completing a circuit that triggers a warning light on your dashboard, alerting you to replace the pads.

Can I install these brake pads myself?

No, Bosch recommends professional installation only by trained specialists due to the precise nature of brake systems and the integrated wear sensors.

What is the primary benefit of the low-metallic material?

The low-metallic material is chosen for its durability and consistent friction performance across a range of temperatures, contributing to reliable braking while also reducing noise and dust.

What are the dimensions of these brake pads?

These pads have a thickness of 19.1 mm, a height of 150.8 mm, and widths of 1140.9 mm / 1141.7 mm.

What should I do if the wear indicator light comes on?

If the wear indicator light illuminates, it signifies that your brake pads are nearing their replacement interval. You should schedule an inspection and replacement with a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.

Are these pads suitable for all vehicles?

These pads are specifically designed for rear axle placement and replacement of part number 0986494309. Compatibility should always be confirmed with your vehicle's specifications.

Troubleshooting

Wear sensor warning light remains on after replacement

Ensure the wear sensor was correctly connected to the vehicle's wiring harness. The sensor may need to be reset by a mechanic using diagnostic tools.

Brake noise or vibration after installation

This can sometimes occur during the bedding-in period. If noise persists after 100-200 miles, ensure pads were correctly installed and rotors are in good condition. Consult a professional.

Reduced braking performance

Check brake fluid levels and condition. Ensure there are no air pockets in the brake lines. Verify that the pads are the correct type for the vehicle and have been properly installed and bedded-in.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This brake pad set is intended for professional installation only. It must be fitted by a trained mechanic or specialist who can ensure correct mounting and connection of the integrated wear sensors.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for rear axle placement. Verify that part number 0986494309 or its cross-referenced numbers (e.g., A.B.S., ATE) match your vehicle's requirements. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional.
