How you change Peugeot 3008 rear brakes - Gone wrong! 

Thank you for your comment. Sensors should never actually touch the pick up ring so no need to remove it. Also on these, the bolt holding the sensor in is behind the disc so it's not possible remove it first.

Glad you got it sorted!

From memory, I'm unsure exactly what tools will be required. If you wind this video till about 18 mins you will see how it's done on the 3008... I think the set up is exactly the same. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nwed1A6NFok.html Hope this helps.

Thank you for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it!

Thank you for your question. The frequency depends largely on your style and type of driving. The more you use the brakes the quicker they wear out. A visual inspection would be the most common way to determine wether they need changed. The friction material on the brake pads could wearing thin for example. Some cars have sensors on brake pads which will bring on a warning light on the dashboard to alert you. It is perfectly normal to change one set only (either the front set or the rear). The front brakes on a car do most of the work so these will wear out quicker and need replaced more often. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, really appreciate it. Just watch out for those abs sensors! Lol

@@themidnightmechanic9368 Done the rears and it was all good. Thanks again

I have a number of clients with these cars so you may see more 3008 jobs as they come along!

You made a terrible mistake if its the first generation. I owned one and it was on a tow truck on average one every 14 months or so. This car is terribly unreliable.

@@bou212 I'm not a big fan of French cars myself to be honest... I love my Ford transits! Lol I'm often asked, as a mechanic and motor trader, what car I'd recommend people buy.... the truth is they are all the same. They all break. They all need work at some point. Sometimes you get an unlucky run with a particular car and it puts you off the brand for life!... for me, I had a bad experience with a brand new fiat many years ago and I've never owned a fiat since! Lol

@@themidnightmechanic9368 The Mrs had a brand new Fiat 500 a few years back and it was repaired a number of times under warranty. FIAT (Fix it again tomorrow) now gone 🙂

Another video (though for a different car) stated rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger then front driver

Thank you for your question! Personally, the only time I use axle stands is if I plan to be underneath the car. I have a couple of very large trolley jacks with rubber pads on them so i can jack up on the sill without damage... If you don't want to jack up from the sill them look for an alternative structural point capable of taking the weight of the vehicle... eg a suspension component. Each vehicle will be different so be careful where you choose to lift to avoid damage. If unsure, feel free to drop me a message.

@@themidnightmechanic9368 thank you

It's not a job I've done on the 3008 before but most cars are pretty much the same. You need to remove the door card and you will see how it's connected to the lock/handles/etc. Unclip all that and remove any electrical plugs. Then on the other side on the lock will be some screws. Remove these and wiggle the lock out from.the inside. Hard to describe but when you remove the door card you will see how it all works.

Before you do anything actually, is the lock definitely failed?.... checked any fuses, wiring at the door hinges, etc? Test the easy stuff first.

Thank you for your comment. The French cars all use a similar setup. Hope you found the video useful.

@@themidnightmechanic9368 thanks cuz I couödt ser any for 208 nu myser goding to fix my car
