The brake pads in your Vauxhall need to be changed every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometres. In any case, it is good to systematically check the degree of wear and to respect the service intervals specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Various models of Vauxhall have their own design of brake systems. The Vauxhall Astra and the Vauxhall Insignia might require different sizes or design of the pads. The Astra normally has a compact braking system installed in it while the insignia can have more powerful brakes that will be able to bear the weight and speed of the car accordingly.
Of major importance with the Vauxhall Corsa is the condition of the rear drum brakes on earlier models. Owners of all Corsa models fitted with four-wheel disc brakes must pay particular attention to the caliper guides, which may seize due to corrosion or contamination.
Wear and tear of the front brake pads is a well-reported Vauxhall Mokka issue; we recommend using good quality low dust pads in order to maintain clean wheel discs and give efficient braking. Yet another recommendation for the model is paying regular attention to the condition of the brake fluid-as too often the Mokka are driven in areas where temperatures amplitudes are big. The following recommendations will help you go a long way toward reducing the risk:
It is believed that the replacement of new brake pads and disks on a Vauxhall will take from 1.5 up to 3 hours depending on the modification of the vehicle, technical condition of the brake system, and qualifications of the technician.
If you are after high performance and do not mind the higher price, Brembo is a great choice. For a balanced combination of price and quality, TRW or Bosch, Ridex would be a good choice. If you are into long-lasting original parts, ATE would be an ideal choice. In any case, you need to opt for such pads which are according to the specifications of your Vauxhall for safe and efficient braking.
