Durago BP840CMS Disc Brake Pad Set Overview

The DuraGo BP840CMS disc brake pad set is engineered for reliable braking performance on select Audi, Saab, Volkswagen, and Volvo models. Designed with semi-metallic friction material and electronic pad wear sensors, this set offers consistent stopping power and enhanced safety.

• Semi-metallic friction material for balanced durability and performance
• Slotted and chamfered edges to reduce noise and improve pad bedding
• Includes electronic pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts
• Iron backing plates with bonded friction material for structural integrity
• Pad shims included to minimize vibration and noise

Technical Specifications and Features

The DuraGo BP840CMS brake pads feature an outer pad friction material thickness of 13.9 mm and an inner pad thickness of 13.6 mm, ensuring ample material for extended use. Both inner and outer pads measure 156.5 mm in width and 74.2 mm in height, with overall thicknesses of 19.5 mm and 19.2 mm respectively. The pads are slotted and chamfered to optimize heat dissipation and reduce brake noise. The friction material is bonded securely to iron backing plates with a thickness of 0.22 inches, providing durability under regular driving conditions. Electronic pad wear sensors are included to alert drivers when replacement is necessary, helping maintain braking efficiency.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake pad set is compatible with a range of vehicles, including Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A6, A6 Quattro, RS6, and S6 models, Saab 9-5, Volkswagen Passat and Sharan, as well as Volvo C70. The DuraGo BP840CMS is designed to meet the braking requirements of these vehicles, ensuring proper fitment and performance.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BP840CMS Brake Pads

• Brake noise and vibration due to worn or low-quality pads
• Reduced braking responsiveness from degraded friction material
• Uneven pad wear causing inconsistent braking performance
• Failure to alert drivers of pad wear without sensor integration
• Overheating and brake fade during regular driving conditions

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the DuraGo BP840CMS disc brake pads requires removal of the existing pads and cleaning of the caliper assembly. Since mounting hardware and abutment clips are not included, reuse of existing hardware is necessary if in good condition. Ensure the electronic pad wear sensor is properly connected to maintain accurate wear monitoring. Applying brake grease to the included pad shims can help reduce noise and vibration. Always follow vehicle-specific service manuals for torque specifications and safety precautions.
