Uneven Brake Pad Wear

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Expect variations in brake pad wear due to cooling airflow and other factors, the amount acceptable would depend on vehicle mileage and the technician's experience/judgement. Excessive variations in brake pad wear may also be due to mechanical, hydraulic or brake pad material issues

Brake Caliper leak Check

If a fluid leak is suspected, it may be due to leaked grease from behind the dust boot (grease is used as an aid during brake caliper assembly), remove the components to access the area and remove the excess grease from the brake pad back plate, the piston nose and the dust boots (as indicated). Brake cleaner will help remove the grease from the components. The original components can then be installed and a brake fluid leak test can be completed to confirm no leak is present.

Apply the brake pedal firmly for a maximum of 5 applications.
On completion of the fifth application check for leakage from the caliper pistons. If there is a leak present after the test install a new brake caliper Refer to: BRAKE CALIPER - INGENIUM I4 2.0L PETROL/V6 S/C 3.0L PETROL or BRAKE CALIPER - INGENIUM I4 2.0L DIESEL
