How often should the brake pads on a Ford New Mondeo be replaced?
1 Answers
Ford Mondeo brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Before replacing the brake pads, open the cover of the brake fluid reservoir in the engine compartment to check the brake fluid level. If the brake fluid level is above the maximum limit, some should be removed to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Prepare the new brake pads for replacement and remove the wheel where the brake is located. Be careful to avoid scratching the rim during removal; 3. Use a wrench and socket to remove the bolts of the brake caliper, then take out the brake pads (if there is a brake sensor line, remove it first). Check if the brake pads are excessively worn or have cracks. If so, proceed with the next steps of replacement; 4. Since the brake caliper may have a lot of sand or dirt, clean it thoroughly with a cloth and apply anti-squeal paste to prevent noise during braking; 5. Use a piston press to push the piston to its limit, then install the new brake pads onto the caliper. After the new brake pads are properly installed (including the brake sensor line if present), tighten the guide bolts to complete the installation; 6. After installation, cover the reservoir cap, get into the car, and press the brake pedal several times to reset the brake. Then check the brake fluid level to ensure it is within the appropriate range; 7. After replacement, test drive the car to check if the braking effect is achieved.
