When to Replace Brake Discs and Pads

Model: Renault Kangoo MK 1, KC, KW - Years 1997-2008
Part: Brake pads

This video tutorial provides some advice on when it is necessary to replace the brake disc and pads. The vehicle in question is a Renault Kangoo. The disc generally needs to be changed when it reaches the minimum thickness indicated in the maintenance manual. To measure it, use a caliper and it's best to measure at more than one point. In this case, the wear on the disc is clearly visible to the naked eye. A completely new disc is also shown, allowing you to notice the differences between the two discs. The same applies to the brake pads. When they wear down, they have a reduced contact surface with the disc, thus decreasing braking efficiency. This is particularly true if the disc is also worn; the metal backing of the pads touches the edge of the disc. It’s better to replace them!

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
