CITROEN BRAKE PADS

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 road safety depends on your CITROEN'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 CITROEN 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 CITROEN online and thus also having access to OE quality goods at low prices. 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 CITROEN VEHICLES

The car manufacturer Citroen was founded in 1919 and the company is based in Paris. Over the past century, the manufacturer has shaped the automotive world in many ways and has been one step ahead of other manufacturers. For example, Citroen was the first company to offer rental and leasing vehicles, and the guarantee on new cars was also granted for the first time by the French manufacturer.

Over the decades, a wide range of Citroen vehicles has emerged, so that there is also a corresponding variety of car and spare parts. The company's portfolio ranges from small cars to upscale limousines to vans with a preference for commercial use. In addition, Citroen is established in motor sports and is familiar with the manufacture of powerful engines and robust vehicle technology. This applies above all to rallying, from which production vehicles also benefit and the requirements for vehicle parts in a Citroen are correspondingly high.
