5. Maintenance
Regular inspection of your brake pads and system components is crucial for safety and performance. It is recommended to inspect your brake pads at least once a year or every 10,000-12,000 miles, or as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.
Maintenance Tips:
- Check brake pad thickness. Replace pads when they reach their minimum wear limit (typically 2-3mm).
- Inspect brake rotors for excessive wear, scoring, or warping.
- Ensure caliper pins are lubricated and move freely.
- Check brake fluid level and condition. Replace brake fluid according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
- Listen for unusual noises (squealing, grinding) and investigate promptly.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience any issues with your braking system after installing BOSCH BC1847 brake pads, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Squealing Noise | Improper installation of shims or hardware, lack of lubricant on contact points, new pad break-in period. | Re-check installation, apply lubricant, allow for proper break-in (follow bedding procedures). |
| Grinding Noise | Severely worn pads (metal-on-metal contact), foreign object. | Immediately inspect pads and rotors; replace worn components. Remove foreign objects. |
| Vibration/Pulsation | Warped rotors, uneven pad wear, loose wheel bearings. | Inspect and replace rotors if warped. Check for proper pad seating. Inspect wheel bearings. |
| Soft Brake Pedal | Air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, faulty master cylinder. | Bleed brake lines. Check and top off brake fluid. Inspect master cylinder. |
If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, consult a certified automotive technician.
