Installing Front Brake Pads
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
WARNING:
Installation of brake pads with the wrong brake pad quality
- Longer braking distance
- More wear on brake pads
→ Only use the type-specific brake pads listed in the Porsche Spare Parts Information.
→ Replace the brake pads when the brake pad wear warning light comes on, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm on each axle.
→ Replace the brake discs on each axle as soon as the brake disc wear limit is reached.
WARNING:
Old mounting parts fitted on the brake calliper
- Reduced braking effect
- Risk of damage to the brake calliper
→ Fit new pad retaining springs
→ Fit new fastening screws
Information
- The backs of the pad backing plates must not be greased.
- Check disc brakes for wear. For details of wear limits, see below
- Disc brakes must be clean and free of grease.
- The core of the warning contact wire must not be left exposed! It does not matter if the insulation is worn.
- If necessary, remove a little brake fluid from the reservoir by suction in order to prevent an overflow when the disc brake pads are pushed back.
- Use new repair kit.
