Peugeot 106 Brake Disks and Pads Replacement

How to change the brake disks and pads on a Peugeot 106, this 106 is a 2002 3 door independence, with the 1.1 TU1J5 fuel injected engine and i believe that these callipers are referred to the bendix callipers, the car has no ABS or brake pad wear system.
The callipers are a slightly different design compared with other cars, a metal retainer sits at the top of the calliper holding the pads into place, the retainer has two clips stopping it from falling out. It makes putting the new pads in slightly fiddlier but it still works.
I also painted the callipers red using high temperature paint suitable for engines or brake callipers, it looks a bit pink when first appled but the heat when the car is used seems to improve the colour. It may not be to everyones taste but i like the look of red brake callipers, its currently hard to see them behind the steel wheels but they will look better when alloys are fitted.

Very Good. I like your Video s. My 106 was very used, i saw during a Service that there were no Security Clips and Even a complete set was fixed. Trank you!

Great tutorial, mate. Looking to do this with mine now in a week or two and the discs haven't come off since the car has rolled off the line haha, so hopefully they won't be too stuck on.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

+Pedro Mayn That could be fun trying to get them off the hub, plenty of WD40 should sort it, its the benefit of a lighter car though the brakes last much longer.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

+Didier Saenen WD-40 is technically a penetrating oil, others are available although i just refer to WD-40 because its the easiest to get a hold of. It definitely makes removing stubborn bolts easier.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

+Didier Saenen No problem glad they help. Haha cant be your first can of WD-40? Its great stuff; squeaky doors in the house, seized pliers, removing stains on concrete, cleaning off dead insects. its surprising the amount of things it will do.

Excellent tutorial man, I will be following this soon

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks

Ive got a 106 zest 2 51 plate could you tell me if the spring goes onto the bottom what does it actually clip on to in the centre of the brake pad to give it tension ?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there This video is from a 305 but it uses a similar type of calliper, there is a better view around the 5:00 min mark onwards of that spring going back into place kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJy9dZSpq9NqjKc

Hi. Great video. I was wondering how long in total it would take (roughly) to do the whole process minus the colour painting of the callipers?

[@vKarlssonBoy]

I've just changed both pads on each side but I can't get the retainer back in - some good advice?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

The slide in retainer, it can be tricky. Clean it up as well as possible with a wire brush to get all of the loose rust off, also try filing the leading edge that will initially go in between the pads and the calliper so that it can slide in easier, a chamfer will do this.

[@assassintimzzzy]

I just did the same on my 106. in same order as you, is it normal for the car to take longer to stop when breaking, tried doing an emergency stop at 30 mph and it didn't skid just slowed down, any ideas as to what it could be. was told it needs wearing in.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

There is a bedding in process, i cant remember exactly but if you read the instructions that come with the disks or pads they basically say drive the car easy for the first 1-200 miles. However its worth checking your brake fluid if you have spongy brakes, if its older fluid it may be a good idea to flush the old fluid out and replace with new fluid ensuring the system is bled correctly.

Good Video's! Helps me a lot.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks for the comment

[@dcdmuc]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV do you have also a tutorial to change the rear axle as well?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@dcdmuc No rear axle videos however i drove my mums xsara the other night and from how bad the suspension crashed over bumps it may be an upcoming video

[@Tomvloggity]

why did you go to so much trouble of painting the callipers when you can't even see them

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

I have a set of alloys ordered for the car, the callipers will be visible when they are fitted.

[@davieboy198607]

I have replaced both rear brake drum bearings on my 206 and replaced brake shoes on both sides. There is a squeak slightly or squeal coming from one or both rear drums when the car heats up but more noticeable when braking once cars heated up. Do you reckon it's bearings or brakes?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

What is the backplate like that the shoes etc all bolt to, is there any loose rust flaking off that could be causing the noise?

[@davieboy198607]

peugeotCitroen2CV I will have another look. How tight should the hub nut be? It's hard to get a grip on them to tighten them up real good

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

***** It depends on the car what the torque for its hub nut should be, the haynes manual for a 206 should have that number. But on the 406 i just used the impact wrench to send the hub back as far as it would go and checked that it still moved freely.

[@davieboy198607]

peugeotCitroen2CV ok cheers. I used an impact on it too so should be OK then. I think I may have adjusted the brake shoes incorrectly and they are overheating, is this a possibility?

[@willemvdr12]

What is the minimum allowed thickness for the pads and discs?

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

+Willem van der Rijken Not to sure about that, normally there are grooves on the disk long before it reaches the minimum thickness, and the pads if the wear inicator is still there is usally a sign things need to be changed. The new disks should have the minimum thickness stamped on them.

i have a 106 quicksliver changed the rear beam to disk made a new brake line to fit n no luck on bleeding the brake on the new beam un done nipple m8 to pump brake peddle fluid comming out lock it off n the piston only moving a bit n brake pedle soft goes to floor like nipple still un done only think i can think doing wrong is not using a rubber diy bottle kit think? am i right? help

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Hi there Are you bleeding the brakes on your own? If so yes you would need to adopt the rubber tube bottle trick thats well covered on youtube. However for pure convenience i would highly recommend the Sealey VS820 which is a pneumatic brake bleeding tool, makes the job of bleeding the brakes much handier.

[@49cchris]

no luck made a good diy kit to bleed brakes got air out but the piston only works on one brake the drives side wheel but all rest dont lock up seems like piston dont come out a nuff to clamp the pads to the disk also when push brake pedel goes to the floor no pressure no leaks so why are all 3 pistons on my brakes not moving out like few 2mm away can see the piston moving a bit when get some to push the brake its driving me nuts help please!

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

@@49cchris It still seems like there is air in the system, is the pedal firm as it goes to the floor or still a bit spongey feeling? Does the 106 have any sort of load compensator valve on the back axle, and does this particular one have ABS?

[@49cchris]

good news! was still air trapped all running clear now so locked of nipple went round all brakes and bleed them more and works a treat now pressure back the gti 6 on the front brakes stop really well n so dose the new vts rear beam locks up well... i only had to make one new copper brake line n fit a bigger union on it other line fitted straight in! would been easy to buy a 106 gti as trun the 1.4 quiksliver into a 106gti all good fun i gess n lernt alot!! thanks for the help! next issue is car has a fuel line in but no fuel return line! my ecu is getting unlocked once back to get engine running shell i block the fuel return line or buy a 1.6 pump n make a new return line? not eve. sure if a 1.4 fuel pump have nuff pressure to run the 1.6 vts lump?? help

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

pug106 GTI Great to hear you got the brakes sorted. With regards the 1.4/1.6 not sure on that, servicebox used to be good to check part numbers for this sort of question to see if the engines share the same pump, there is a chance both do but perhaps not. Best asking on the owners clubs to find that out, never done much in the way of tuning those cars

[@arbiosking2]

Great turorial :) Can you give me the article number ? There are a few on the market . (same car)

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

Thanks Article number or part number? There was a few different variations of disks fitted to the 106, 3 or 4 stud, vented or solid? Best to take the old disks to the motor factors to ensure you get the right ones.

[@HesseJamez]

We should spend you some new wheel caps.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

HesseJamez It was a fix to sell on car, no need to waste money on rims that was for the next owner to do

[@HesseJamez]

@@peugeotCitroen2CV ...but they're pretty cheap and save cable ties. I have the same car, same engine, same color, but LHD.

[@peugeotCitroen2CV]

HesseJamez The plastic ones are what the car left the factory with and they did the job perfectly. A set of alloy wheels would have been at least £100-200 which would have had a detrimental effect on any profit the car would make.
