Clio 200 Brake Pads

[Mikey22]

Hey guys

Does anyone know what sort of brake pads are fitted to the clio 197/200?

After a few thousand miles ive noticed that they are still squealing a bit. Only under light/moderate braking.

They must be a tougher pad.....like green pads?

Cheers Guys

Mike

Mine squel from time to time the same as yours, as do quite a lot of other 200's, don't know the answer to your question though. Sorry.

They need a good pasting to keep them clean.

As above. Find a quiet straight road and do 4 or 5 repeated heavy breaking stops from 70mph (more if you can) down to 20mph and then accelerate and repeat straight away. Don’t lock-up or stop in between and then drive say 5 miles with no or just very light braking afterwards to let them cool down. This will mate the pads and discs properly and bind the pad material together. This is the tried and tested way of bedding any new disc/pad combo, or renewing your brakes if they have glazed over as it sounds yours have.

they bind in the calipers, mad really, you should IMO take them out and grind the back plates a little so the pad is free to move in the caliper
