These videos are awesome. Ive just done my oil filter and oil change. I have now I’ve replaced my fuel filter soni think i can tackle the brake pads maybe the discs as well. These vids are the best
Thanks Thomas, if you need more information on other jobs for the Ford Transit the Manuals available in print or online from haynes.com/en-gb/ford/transit-custom/2013-2017
No mention of the brake pad sensor though?. I only mention because I recently had new pads and disks fitted and I not have the brake wear warning message popping up all the time?
Hi Chris, details on the brake wear sensor can be found in the manual. This is available from haynes.com/en-gb/ford/transit-custom/2013-2017
Is this the same for 2020 transit custom?
My custom 2014 is displaying message that i need to change break pads but not saying if its front or back. is there sensor on both axels or just one? thanks
Some have sensors on the front and rear, some only on the front.
Thanks for the upload. Can you please confirm if you need to add any copper slip to the back of the pads and the sliders in regards to the transit?.
According to the manual, there's no requirement for any lubrication on the pads. New genuine pads have adhesive pads on the back plates, but there's no harm in applying a thin smear of Ceratec to the back plates where they contact the caliper.
At 4:00 is says to tighten the nuts but the video shows undoing them...Ooops
Where do you put the copper grease?
On the pad back plates where they contact the piston/caliper, and at the edges of the back plates where they contact the caliper bracket.
No mention of any brake lubrication??
A few manufacturers specifically state that no lubrication should be applied to the pad backing plates.
Would be useful if you mention size of bolt
I have a range of spanners in my toolkit, so I just find the one that fits.
@@HaynesManuals ok when car in your workshop but when you are going to sort breakdown job and can’t be asked to carry big toolbox with you is different story
So as just useful advice to improve your videos please mention size of bolts
OK, thanks for the comments - we'll bear it in mind!
