Replacement of Front Brake Pads

Model: Renault Megane Megane 1 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Brake pads

Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift and remove the front wheels; lever between the pads and caliper to retract the piston and facilitate removal; unscrew the caliper fixing bolts to remove it from its housing (you can also unscrew just the lower bolt and rotate the caliper upwards) and extract the old pads by disconnecting the wear sensor cable; then fit the new pads, reposition the caliper and tighten the fixing bolts; pump the brake pedal until it offers the correct resistance and take care during the first few braking actions.

The filter is located in the engine bay, on the passenger side, just below the windscreen. To replace it, you will need to remove the plastic grille covering the area just below the windscreen, which also involves removing the wiper control arms. Once you reach the filter location, remove the cover and extract the filter along with its plastic support frame. After thoroughly cleaning all components, fit the new filter and reassemble in reverse order.
