nice video, consider pushing the piston back before you pull the caliper up. I need to do mine but I think you can undo just the bottom bolt and swing the caliper, other thing is if you get squeaks use some copper grease.
Thats one thing I missed out, I forgot to record me doing it, I also unscrewed the brake fluid cap to make it easier for me to push them back in.
Hopefully you told the garage to shove there work imagine the mot fails they get through 😮
Good video, to the point. Typical garages, I had a Fiat dealer say the same to me (discs and pads) checked it that night, plenty of meat on the pads... Do you know if the DS3 has any kind of dashboard warning when the pads are low or not? Thanks
Dont think so buddy
Thanks for posting this.
I have a c4 with brake pads wearing thin. I was going to take it to a garage but I'm pretty confident I could do a better job myself. I used to service my own cars, so this shouldn't be too difficult?
No easy mate, all brakes are the same really Regards to fitting!
Next time you do your pads just take bottom bolt out of caliper lift it up and change pads
I'm guessing you open the brake fluid chamber before pushing the piston back in?
Oh my shit the bed does every garage say that, my car on last Mot Bought new ones not even half way But always good to Do a good clean up maybe some grease on the pistons disk hub help to get wheels off.
Cheers pal!
Hey! Silly question but where were you putting the trolley jack on the front? I always struggled to find a place to put it to be able to place an axel stand too
right on the wishbone bolt, there's not much room near the sill
@@itschocolateboy7828 alright, thanks alot 👌🏼 replacing with ebc sport brakes all the way round. See how much of a difference over OEM it makes 😂
@@dgodfrey5322 I would go with better tyres over race pads lol
Did you have to bleed the brakes after at all after you fitted the new pads ?.
nope.
for the service just change the oil and air and the pollen filter
Pollen filter? In two garage nobody knows wer is the pollen filter on my car
Zero wrong with the original pads, in fact your new replacement pads are probably poorer quality then the OEM ones you just replaced. A quick clean up of the discs and pads with some brake cleaner to remove and brake dust would have been a better option looking at the OEM pads.
I know, They didn't need changing really , but there was some decay there, After changing it got rid of the grinding/squeak noise too . Pads I bought was recommended at Eurocarparts(not the cheapest) so I would think they are better than OEM. Thanks for your input though buddy !
Nothing wrong with the pads at all
There was nothing wrong with the old pads!!!
"C'est plus tot les disques que il fot changer kkkkkk
It would have been advantageous for you to show the car and to keep your head out of the shot.
Unfortunately i only get 'one take' with this kind of job, I was too busy focusing on the task at hand to worry about the camera, its not a 'how to' video really :O . And I really like my head :D Lol.
@@itschocolateboy7828 You did this with the intention of helping people. My observations were to make it better the next time., no one knew what type of car, because they didn't see it. For what you did do; was helpful.
@@MDS471 Thanks !
@@itschocolateboy7828 the wheels tell you exactly what kinda car it is and so does the video title lol
im not sure why your garage told you they were low after seeng those pads, if you dont drive like a maniac pads can last for thousands of miles
I know right ? It wasn't my usual garage, I changed them anyway considering I went through all the effort of taking them out Lol.
Check brake discs thickness with a micrometer, 22mm when it's new and minimum 20mm because I think they are very close to the minimum.
