How many brake pads/discs on my car?

I'm looking to put all new parts in my car - sentimental reasons..

I have a Renault Megane RT 1.6 R-Reg (1998)

How many brake pads does it have? 2 at front and 2 at rear? Or just 2 at front?

Same question for the brake discs...

Also, how long should a decent mechanic take to fit everything?



Thanks in advanceHow many brake pads/discs on my car?Man oh man I didn't even know that renault made cars in 1998 . Most cars in 98 was disk in the front and drum in back.Which means two pads in the front and two shoes in the rear.How many brake pads/discs on my car?If it has 4 wheel disc then there are 2 pads per disc = 8 pads. Or if it is only 2 wheel disc then there are 4 pads and 4 brake shoes and 2 drums on the rear. As for a decent mechanic, thats on your side of the pond. Never seen 1 of them over hereHow many brake pads/discs on my car?The usual number is 2 pads for each disc, some hi performance cars use more for better power, more pads = more swept area.

Many cars still use shoes on the rear wheels, they are a different type of brake.

Haven't seen a Renault since 1966.How many brake pads/discs on my car?Each wheel has two (2) pads for a total of eight (8).

Each rotor has a pad for each side of the rotor.How many brake pads/discs on my car?not familiar with the car, but there are two pads/shoes per wheel for a total of eight. the time it takes to do the job will depend on if the car has drum brakes or disc brakes and how many of each. drum on all four wheels, discs on front, drums on rear or vice versa, or discs on all four wheels. the discs may require turning which will take longer. if the car has four drum brakes i would think 2-4 hours would be sufficient time to complete the job.



if the car has four disc brakes the job could take as long as a day, possibly overnight depending on the aforementioned turning and whether the task is performed in house or sent out.How many brake pads/discs on my car?there are 4 rotors (discs ) one at each wheel , there are 8 pads two at each wheel . Brake servicing is pretty routine unless the rotors have been worn below specification , then the rotor must be replaced which will add to the cost .How many brake pads/discs on my car?As it is a 98 scenic it will have 4 pads at the front and 4 brake %26quot;shoes%26quot; at the rear. 2 either side.



Should only take 0.5 hours.How many brake pads/discs on my car?you could have front and rear disc. you definitely have front disc. look at the back.if you have drums then you have rear brake shoes.How many brake pads/discs on my car?brakes come in sets

two in front two in rear

left and a right each side will have two parts inter and a outer brake pad

so four pads front four pads rear

couple hours if thats all it needs
