Dude I binged your videos already! Great content, keep it up. I used to ignore the Panameras because of their styling but they really grew on me over the years.
I have the exact same car! Color, everything. I have not seen your interior, but I'm very pleased with mine! I stumbled upon this supplier accidentally. I was hoping these would be the guys that you used to purchase from. And, as you know, not just brakes, but many other components for people that wish to work on their vehicle.
Thanks for the video! Very informative. Btw... torque for the M14 brake caliper bolts on the front-wheel is 140 nm. On the M12 rear-wheel caliper bolts it is 85 nm. Greetings from Germany!
Hahaha! I ordered the same R1 Concept rotors but I returned them after receiving them because they did not look like the ones advertised and just ordered the Zimmerman front rotors. Thanks for the vid! Time to change my front rotors on the Panamera now. 👍
I’ve been looking to buy the panamera 2014, I really wanted a 911 but the price have gone through the roof at the moment. But for the money I think they are really good value. Over here in England they are going for around £27000 pounds with full service history and 50,000 miles. Thanks for the videos they are very helpful.
Thanks for Watching! Right now the prices on first gen Panamera's are starting to go up a little. With the announcement that the future of the Panamera will be electric. I feel that prices will go up even more.
In Spain around 40/45 thousand € , its crazy Im going to buy one, 2009, 970 4S, around 145k kms and 35 thousand € ....... but it doesn't looks old , I think its a very good car
Thanks for the video! Can you tell me what size/type sockets you used to remove the caliper bolts, along with any other special tools needed to replace both the front and rear pads and rotors?
Great video! One thing I noticed is that your previous set of brake rotors were on the opposite side of where they should've been. The marks on the slots should face backwards. Your new rotors are installed correctly (handy L and R markings).
Thank you so much for this. I have a 2010 as well. Only issue I came across was the bolts on the caliper were different than the video. I had my T14 ready to go I had to run out and get a torx socket.
Hello! My question isn't related to front break, but maybe you can give me some advice. I went to a garage and asked them to replace valve cover gasket (Panamera 2010 4S). They said, in order to replace it is needed to remove the engine as the rear bolts are not accessible otherwise. Is it true?
Engine doesn't need to come out. I had the cam bolt recall done which requires the valve covers to come off and they didn't pull the engine. Thanks for watching!
Mike I enjoy your videos, I want to do do a brake job on my panamera 2011, v8 4s ,where did you buy the parts from? I want to order them and get start.
Hey mate. Really beautiful car! In fact actually my dream car and I am informing myself about it because in the near future I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one used. What did you find about the running costs, maintenance costs, thirst of this car, etc...? Possible to compare it to a newer E class or BMW 5 series, or around there? Best regards from Germany
@@mikeshorsepowergarage7577 well I obviously missed that part or you're talking shite , thanks for your useless response anyway. Why not just reply saying which tool it is? I'm assuming you watched it again given the confidence when you say "it was covered in the video".
@@mikeshorsepowergarage7577 thank you, i did Already done the Job. But what about the Parkbreak at the rear, dont we have to calibrate it with a tester?
@@splater591 I didn't need to, I didn't touch any of the parking brake components when changing the rear brakes. I left the parking brake off before the disassembly which allowed me to remove the rear rotor. Everything worked fine after reassembly.
@@mikeshorsepowergarage7577 same as i did, i already had done the work before i read from somebodys problems without calibrating it - yesterday i did a test and my break was working without any problems - but maybe good to know for others that there could be issues - Thank you for your tutorial - helped me a lot !
I washed the brakes first to remove the loose dust. Then I was using a liquid cleaner. The dust was contained in the liquid solution. No dust was air born as far as I can tell. Thanks for watching and for your concern.
