Are you the owner of a chic and modern car - Renault Sandero? How does a foreigner feel on domestic roads? Can he cope with the difficult weather conditions of your region? We think that this is satisfactory, because in terms of technical innovations, Renault Sandero is considered the vehicle that provides comfortable driving. And if you monitor the condition of the car in a timely manner, understanding how important it is to promptly replace Renault Sandero brake pads, then the car will last a long time. The owners of the brand position the Renault SANDERO as a compact family hatchback; it will maneuver almost perfectly in city conditions, but will be difficult to follow off-road. He is very delicate and prone to comfort!
Renault SANDERO
Renault SANDERO is equipped with an ESP system, which has been supplemented with a very important function - Hill Start Assist, and it does not allow the vehicle to roll away when starting on an overpass, and this is so important for beginners!
Hill Start Assist function
Additionally, we note that the developers of Renault SANDERO put the principle of ensuring safety at the forefront of their work and, for this purpose, supplemented the transmission with special settings that do not allow the car to go into an uncontrolled skid when entering a turn.
Entering a turn
So it turns out that if you are the owner of such a reliable and compact family car, then you should take care of its technical condition and promptly determine the moment when replacing the rear brake pads of the Renault Sandero is indicated. If you delay repairs, allowing maximum wear on the pads, you may end up having to buy a brake disc. And these are additional costs for your luxurious steel horse!
Self-replacement of front brake pads on Renault Sandero
The manufacturer does not regulate the frequency of replacement of both front and rear brake pads on Renault Sandero. However, according to car operating experience, replacing the front brake pads is required on average every 25-35 thousand kilometers. The service life of the front brake pads on Renault Sandero depends on the driving style, as well as on the quality of the pads themselves.
Conditions for replacing the brake system
Renault Sandero Stepway is equipped with front disc and rear drum brakes, the replacement of which is possible without the services of a car service, if you have the necessary skills and tools.
Replacement of the front and, if necessary, rear pads should be done only in case of critical wear or breakdown, since the procedure is quite complex and expensive. Replacing front or rear pads on a Renault must be carried out as a whole, otherwise, if there is a difference in the braking force that will be applied to the front disc or rear drum, the vehicle may pull to the sides.
How to determine the need to replace pads
When the front pads wear out, you will hear a sharp squeaking sound when you press the brake pedal. This indicates that the pads have reached the maximum permissible thickness of the working surface, or the metal has already begun to wear off. If worn pads are not replaced promptly, they can scratch the brake disc, which will also need to be replaced later.
You can check the wear of the pads using a caliper or visually by eye. We unscrew the wheel and inspect the pads. The maximum permissible thickness of the block must be at least 6 mm. If less, such pads need to be changed.
Which pads to choose for replacement
From the factory, Renault Sandero is equipped with original Renault 41 06 021 92R . The cost of the kit at the moment is from 1300 rubles and above. In addition to the original, you can install cheaper analogues, but you should remember that the service life of the analogues is lower than that of the original pads.

All prices listed above are for a set of 4 pads. All 4 front pads should be replaced at once.
Replacement Tools
To replace the front pads we will need a 13 mm spanner, a 17 open end wrench, a flat head screwdriver, as well as a bulb or hose for pumping out excess brake fluid from the reservoir.
When replacing the pads, the piston in the caliper will be recessed almost completely, so to prevent brake fluid from leaking out of the expansion tank, you will need to pump it out a little, and after replacing the pads, add it if necessary. The fact is that when the pads are worn out, the piston is recessed more, therefore more fluid is required.
Problems when doing DIY work
When replacing pads on a Renault Logan, there is a risk of problems that need to be corrected for the brakes to work properly.
- If the pads cannot be removed without effort, just treat the area where they are seated with WD-40 and get to work after a few minutes.
- When, when closing the caliper, the piston element protruding from the working cylinder creates an obstacle, it is necessary to completely recess the piston using sliding pliers.
- To prevent brake fluid from leaking out of the hydraulic reservoir while installing the pads, you need to pump it out into a separate container and pour it back in after the work is completed.
- If the protective cover of the caliper guide pins was damaged during installation, you should remove it and replace it with a new one, after first removing the bracket from the brake pad guide.
- If gaps appear between the pads and brake discs, it is necessary to depress the brake pedal so that the components move into the desired position.
If the pads are replaced correctly, the braking system will function properly and will improve driving safety. By spending a little time installing the brake pads yourself, you can extend the life of your brakes and prevent dangerous situations on the road.

Instructions for replacing pads
Jack up the car and remove the wheel. Next, if necessary, pump out the brake fluid from the barrel if it is at the Max mark. If there is only a small amount of liquid, there is no need to pump it out.
Using a 17 mm wrench, hold the “guide pin” and unscrew the lower fastening bolt with a 13 mm spanner.
Next, carefully lift the caliper up
Removing old brake pads
If necessary, clean the caliper from dirt and dust, and also check the anthers on the guides and brake piston. If the boot is torn, it must be replaced. You should also check the guide pin; if it moves hard, you should lubricate it with grease.
We install the new pads in place, and in order for the caliper to seat easily, you will need to recess the piston completely into the cylinder. To do this, use pliers to press on it until it is completely inserted.
After replacing the pads and reassembling, press the brake pedal several times until the piston in the caliper is in the working position.
We change these parts on the front axle brake units
How to change pads correctly step by step:
First, we hang the car using a jack. We securely fix and use stops to prevent rolling. Don't forget about the handbrake. Unscrew and remove the wheel. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the brake piston
It is important to prevent damage to its rubber cuff. We arm ourselves with a key set to “13” and unscrew the bolt that secures the lower guide of the caliper
On the other side we lock it with the key at “17”. We remove the bolt and lift up the folding bracket. We can easily remove the pads. The anti-squeak plates do not need to be replaced. We take out the guides, clean them from dirt and lubricate them with a special compound (specifically for brake mechanisms).
It is prohibited to use Litol or other analogues! This will lead to the lubricant being washed out or dried out, which will cause the piston to become sour in one position. We check the integrity of the guide boots. If there are cracks, we replace the elements with new ones (use them from the repair kit).
Upon completion of these operations, we insert new pads into the caliper. If it is difficult to seat them, we move the piston back a larger amount (it enters the cylinder). A suitable lining will help prevent damage to the cuff. We assemble the unit and attach the wheel. We carefully tighten the bolts.
Brake caliper repair kit
If it is necessary to replace the brake cylinder boot or guide pins, below we will indicate the numbers of the original kit and analogues.
- Renault 77 01 208 339 original
- ASAM 32702 analogue
The price of the original can be said to be exorbitant for a repair kit - from 1,700 rubles, but the ASAM analogue costs from 400 rubles. Of course, there is an even simpler option - remove the old boot and look for similar ones. Parts from VAZ cars are often suitable for Renault.

Renault Sandero › Logbook › Replacing the front pads of Sandero 1.4
Ehhh, I haven’t updated the logbook for a long time. Yes, in fact, there was no reason for this - Sanderka runs, the word “at all” does not cause problems. I will never tire of repeating that I love this simple machine.
But the inevitable cannot be avoided - the brake pads are about to expire. When changing shoes to winter tires, I noticed that they had very little left. And now, new pads have been purchased, a day off has been allocated - we’re going to the garage)
Jack up and remove the wheel:
Using a 13mm wrench, unscrew the upper caliper bolt, holding the bushing with a 17mm wrench:
Repeat the same operation for the bottom bolt. We hang the bracket on a wire to the strut spring. To avoid kinking the brake hose:
How cool it is to service a new car! Both bolts came out without any problems. I remember with a shudder how much effort the same procedure cost me on my former 93-year-old Pajer... Sheer hell. I foresee comments: “Why did you unscrew both bolts, you could only use the bottom one! AHAHAHAHA LOOOOH!”, so a small clarification: I don’t know how this car was serviced before me, so if I go somewhere, I’d better disassemble everything as much as possible, lubricate it and put it back together, and I’ll know that there are no surprises there. The wear of the pads is uniform, the thickness of the friction lining is still about 3 mm. But why wait for “metal on metal”, especially since new pads do not cost astronomical sums:
How the system works
Renault Sandero of all modifications has a combined braking system. Disc brakes are installed on the front axle, and drum brakes are installed on the rear wheels. The system is dual-circuit, where the first is the working circuit, the second is the parking circuit.
The brake system of the Renault Sandero hatchback includes the following components: working surfaces (drums, discs, pads), vacuum brake booster, brake cylinder, barrel pipes, pedal system, brake fluid level indicator, ABS unit. So, in this article we will try to figure out exactly how to remove and install the front and, of course, rear pads.
Stocking up on tools
Before replacing the front brake pads, we arm ourselves with the following set:
- wrenches (socket heads, ratchet, etc.);
- a screwdriver with a slotted profile;
- a sprayer required to be able to clean the brake elements, if we are talking about replacing these parts on the rear axle mechanisms;
- a universal product such as “WD-40”;
- jack and safety stand;
- syringe (preferably larger volume);
- brake fluid;
- pliers;
- gloves (recommended).
- Do not forget to study the detailed instructions on how to change the pads.

It is not advisable to try to save money when purchasing pads. Cheap analogues may contain asbestos in their structure. It is determined simply by the white marks on the surfaces of the friction linings. The efficiency of such pads is quite low, and wear resistance tends to zero.

Installing new consumables for the system
Before performing the procedure for installing new brake pads on Renault Sandero, you should use a jack to lift the car, and the car must be securely secured. Then, using a large flat-head screwdriver with a certain amount of force, move the pad to the maximum possible distance from the disc. After this, the lower bolt securing the front axle wheel mounting assembly is removed. For this purpose, an open-end wrench No. 17 is used, holding the guide part. Wrench No. 13 is used to unscrew the bolt itself. After unscrewing the bolts, you need to turn the caliper housing up and remove the used brake pads from their original places. You must first clean the surfaces where the brake pads were and ensure the safety of the springs for their spacers. A similar list of work can be carried out independently without any problems, including on the front pads. In this case, no special experience or knowledge of the technology of performing the procedure is required. Replacing outdated brake pads directly with new ones is not at all difficult. The car owner can replace it himself.
Instead of old Renault Sandero spare parts, new brake pads are installed, both front and rear, and the assembly process is performed in reverse order. The modern automotive spare parts market offers a significant selection of analog parts for the system.
Renault Sandero hatchback car owners usually use brake pads from the following brands: TEXTAR (TX 2146303/2146318234), RH (2141.32), Ferodo (FE fdb845) and TRW (gdb400).
The first step is to remove the wheel on a raised car when dismantling the rear drums. The Renault Sandero parking brake cable should be released a little. Using a wide flathead screwdriver and a hammer, knock out the metal plug needed to protect the retaining nut. Using a 30mm open-end wrench, unscrew the large nut and use a special device to dismantle the drum. In this case, the possibility of disassembling the wheel bearings should be excluded. Otherwise it will have to be replaced. To remove the brake pads from the drum on a Renault Sandero, you will need to perform turning movements to loosen their fastenings. They look like threaded dowels that secure the shoe to the surface of the drum. For example, the front pads are moved in different directions using a screwdriver and they are removed from the drum. Installed new spare parts are compressed by a spring and placed in basic locations. Assembly is performed in reverse order.

Unlike pads, replacing brake discs can be confusing - there are 259 mm and 238 mm options. No need to pay attention to this! All cars with “small” rims:
- Not released in Russia;
- They have the package “without power steering with 1.4 l internal combustion engine” (only!);
- Wheels d=238 are difficult to find even at Renault dealers.
More details about choosing front brake pads in the material: Which are the best front brake pads for Renault Logan.
Moreover, the pads from “large” discs (259 mm) are ideal for “small” ones! This is true.
The Renault catalog contains the number for pads d=259: 7711130071, 7711130078 or 410602192R. There is also article number 7701207066, it is also for diameter 259, but for a disk thickness of 20, not 12 mm, as required.
So, we are looking for an analogue for spare parts 7711130071 (or 78). They are suitable for Logan sedans of the first and second generation:
- FRIXA FPE-100
- TRW GDB400 or GDB1465
- FERODO FDB 845
- STARLINE BD S025
- LPR 05P349
- ABS 36881
- KAMOKA JQ1011690 or 1011690
- MAXGEAR 19-0459
- POLCAR S700006
- ICER 180993-700
- MINTEX MDB1628 or MDB2192
- JURID 571526J
- VALEO 301002
- BREMBO P 68 008 or P 68 038
- DELPHI LP885 or LP838
- ATE 13.0460-2834.2
- PEUGEOT 1611460280 or 1011690
- CITROEN 1611460280 or 2146303
- FORD 1736940
Replacing the front pads of Renault Logan is done with a “four”. They are not sold one at a time! That's why the kit numbers are listed here.
Ferodo or TRW pads will be installed from the factory. By the way, the choice does not depend on the presence of ABS.
Replacing brake fluid in Sandero
The brake fluid is replaced at the intervals specified by the manufacturer (once every three years) or when the vehicle has driven 30 thousand km. To pump out brake fluid, use a special large bulb. In this case, you cannot do without the help of a second person.
Work on pumping out liquid should be carried out with the engine turned off. First, using a bulb, the old fluid is removed from a special container in the engine compartment, after which new fluid is added. The technology for pumping out liquid involves its contour-by-contour implementation. The video shows all the details of such operations. First, work is performed on the left front wheel, then on the right rear, then on the right side of the front axle and then on the left rear. Bleeding nozzles are located on the inside of the wheel hubs. The protective plugs are removed from them and loosened a little using a 8mm wrench.
Using a small tube in length, the diameter of which is identical to the diameter of the outlet, it is fixed to the fitting, and the other end is placed in a bottle with new liquid. The second person sharply makes 5-6 pumps and leaves the pedal in the pressed position. The fitting is unscrewed half a turn until liquid and air flow out, after which the brake pedal falls and rests completely on the floor, as shown in the video.
Next, the fitting is tightened, and the other end of the tube should remain in the container. This operation must be performed more than once in the specified order. If air bubbles stop appearing when bleeding the system, this indicates the completion of the procedure. In this case, you should regularly add fluid to the Renault Sandero tank to eliminate the possibility of air masses appearing in the vehicle system. As you can see, replacing the fluid is a necessary procedure, but the replacement is not difficult, and it can be done with a partner.
The trouser components are products from the company ELF FRELUB 650 (DOT 4). As alternatives, the FEBI brand (21754 or 23930) can be used.
Based on the material received, you now understand that it will not be difficult to change the fluid in the brake system, as well as change the pads, including the front ones.

Replacing the front pads of Renault Sandero
Replacing the Renault Sandero front pads is done only when the maximum possible wear of the brake mechanism is reached. As a rule, maintenance in the front part of the car must be carried out in a timely manner, so from time to time we check the condition of the maximum permissible value. Initially it is at least 6 mm.
We also pay attention to the display of chips, cracks, as well as various lining delaminations from the main pads. The brake linings in the brake mechanism are carried out exclusively in pairs. If you perform the procedure for only one wheel, during an emergency stop the car may skid.
If the liquid level in the reservoir is at or above the maximum, use a syringe to remove the residual liquid. This is done so that during the period of reinstalling the piston, pressure does not build up in the brake tank and fluid does not leak through the plug.
In order to replace them, follow the instructions below.
Step 1 Initially, unscrew the bolts of the fastening front chassis. Before installing new linings, move the piston inside the cylinder until it stops.
Step 2 Then we lean into the support, into a recess with a fairly wide distance, and move it using a bracket, installing the component in the cylindrical section.
Step 3 Using a 13 mm socket wrench, unscrew the nut securing the brackets to the inner pin, fixing the 17 mm bolt with a second wrench.
Step 4 We take out the old pads using standard technology and, using a metal brush, clean the special seats for the pads along the path to the guides from rust and dirt.
Step 5 Before installing new pads, you need to check the special protective covers installed on the fingers. If they are torn or not flexible, they must also be replaced.
Step 6 To replace the cover, you need to unscrew the side mount.
Step 7 Before installing the finger, first put a little lubricating fluid in the special joints and apply a thin layer of liquid to the finger. We install the linings in the brake system in the correct location.
Step 8 Using pliers, push the piston all the way in.
If fluid comes out of the brake cylinder, use sliding pliers.
Step 9 We change the pads on the reverse side in the same way.
After completing all the necessary operations to replace the front pads of Renault Sandero, we initially press the gas pedal as an installation between the discs and pads. Using the liquid level, bring it to normal fastening.

Replacing the front brake pads and brake discs of Renault Sandero does not need any additional comments because the procedure is quite similar to how it is done on most cars, so it should not cause any difficulties, but if this is your first car and you are completely unaware of how to change pads on your Renault Sandero / Dacia Sandero, then the video clip will help you clearly see the whole course of action. I think the tools for unscrewing the fastening bolts can be selected depending on the situation. Cleaning the seats of the Sandero brake pads is not mandatory, but is strongly recommended, as is lubrication of these seats and the caliper guides. To recess the brake piston, use a clamp or a mounting tool.
This illustrated step-by-step instruction will help you cope with replacing the front brake pads of Renault Logan/Sandero.

What are the signs of wear?
Everyone understands that after wear, the front brake pads need to be replaced, how can you tell if they are worn out? There are some significant symptoms that make it possible to clearly determine the need for an upcoming pad replacement.
- Along the direction of the parking brake drive lever. This factor is addressed to the rear drums. If the handbrake is not able to hold the car, then the reason may lie not only in the stretched cable. There may be abrasion of the linings. A working hand brake assembly should hold the car on a slope of 160 when the handle is cocked 3-4 clicks. If the desired effect is achieved in 6-7 clicks, then you will receive a guaranteed replacement of the front brake pads.
- Based on the travel of the brake pedal. If the brakes “grab” in the final position of the pedal, this is a significant symptom of lining wear. Here it is recommended not to neglect checking the tubes and cuffs of the brake circuits for their tightness, since the malfunction, as can be seen, is of a dual nature. Lack of tightness is detected by the source of leakage and low fluid level.
- The appearance of squeaks. During a decrease in speed, this effect may be observed. This also indicates the need to check the brake elements. Squeaking does not always appear, but only in cases where the pads have mechanical wear sensors. Such a sensor is a plate, which, after wear of the linings, begins to rub against the working area of the disk. This element is harmless to the brake unit and is not capable of wearing out the corresponding surface of the disc. Squeaking pads are a guaranteed sign of critical wear.
