SEAT Brake Pad Set

HOW BRAKE PADS WORK IN A BRAKE SYSTEM

Drum and disc brake pads are controlled by the driver operating the brake pedal. The pressure on the pedal is hydraulically reinforced, with the system controlling the brake pad as the carrier of the brake pedal. This is given by pressing the brake disc of the respective wheels to stop and brake them mechanically. The kinetic energy of the wheel is converted into thermal energy. After the braking process is complete, the heat can escape and the wheel is released again.

Every brake pad is subject to high stress in everyday driving. On the one hand, the lining must have high heat resistance due to the heat generated when the wheel brakes. In addition, it must be able to withstand the high mechanical loads caused by friction with the brake disc at full speed. Even higher demands are placed on the friction material and the function of the brake pads when they are manufactured as special models such as sports brake pads. However, wear and tear on this vehicle part over the course of months and years cannot be avoided.

REPLACE WORN AND DEFECTIVE BRAKE PADS IN TIME

If the brake pads are worn, this is reflected in a reduction in the performance of the braking system and a longer braking distance. Wear is a gradual process over years, which is why many drivers do not consciously notice the differences in braking behavior. With every inspection, a critical look is taken at the condition of your brakes, otherwise they are checked at every main inspection/TÜV. Since safety on the road depends on your SEAT's brake system being intact, you should invest in new brake pads or brake discs before you potentially fail the TÜV.

With experience in the automotive industry, it is possible to replace the brake pads on your own lifting platform. With the latest generation of SEAT models, this is no longer so easy, as more and more electronics are used in the braking system. Clarification by a well-known car mechanic who knows the manufacturer and series may help. The exchange must always take place in pairs on the same axle, otherwise the vehicle threatens to drift off in one direction when braking. Also keep in mind that the new brake pads need some time to get used to in order to "grip" the brake discs properly.

In any case, it's worth buying brake pads for your SEAT online and thus getting cheap access to goods in original equipment manufacturer quality. Brand quality is indispensable, especially with a vehicle part like the brakes, in order not to make any compromises in terms of safety and to be able to expect a long service life from the brake pads.

More about the Spanish car manufacturer Seat
Seat was founded in 1950 and the company's headquarters are in Martorell. The company was in Spain a counterpart to Volkswagen in Germany and enabled millions of the country's citizens to even afford their first car in the post-war period. The export of the vehicles abroad was to last until the 1970s, and Seat only came to Germany a decade later. In the course of the expansion, there was early cooperation with Volkswagen in Germany, which led to a takeover by the Wolfsburg group after the turn of the millennium.

The Spanish company Seat is one of the largest automobile manufacturers in its country and the best-known brand of its kind in Germany. The manufacturer can look back on a tradition of more than half a century and is now part of the German Volkswagen Group. German and European drivers regularly rely on high-quality Seat spare parts, for example to replace wearing parts such as brakes or shock absorbers or to upgrade their vehicle in other ways.
