A few months ago fitted rear pads into the Xsara HDI estate . Pads which I purhased didnt fit , The lug on back too near the top same shape apart from this lug(1.5mm out) . These where Lockheed delphi lp699 . After spending next few hours getting correct pads which where Lockheed Delphi LP1778 , lug in correct place all ok . I am now investigating to see if any brakes sites on the web specify these pads for citroen ,but all the sites say LP699 which are wrong for the car . The LP1778 the only info I could find was for Renault megane coupe and clio2000 onwards . So Has anybody got any ideas on this one ,as the motor factors I purchased from said this are quite rare and hard to get ??????. Im panicking I wont be able to get these any more (and where double the price of lp699)
cheers
Simon

Yep thats what I thoaght . Lockheed LP699 should fit (label on box) Saxo,xsara,zx,pug205,306,309 and renault 5,9,11,19 Im damned If I can understand this . Ive looked in Halfords, brakes international site and apec braking all say the same thing one pad fits all. These are factory fitted as well, is the factory the same for Renaults or are some citreons built at Renault ????

Hi Anders , All the web sites Ive visited say for 2.0 hdi estate/1.8 petrol .On actual box does not specify what body just make. I know the car has been serviced by citroen dealer , until I got it . So now one else has played with it . I belive this was one of the last old faced models to be built , then the Face lifted one come out . Could this cause problems due to new parts being used /run down of stock.

EBD Shows the pads on the Xsara to be different from the ones on the Megane. The Megane ones are DP 1078, their dimensions are 105 x 54 x 11 where as the Xsara ones are 106 x 56 x 11 they look very similar however i.e. as far as I can tell from the pictures they are identical 1mm isn't a big difference in size (just big enough to make the pads jam).
The Citroen Xsara, ZX and Saxo, Peugeot 106, 205, 206, 306 and 309, Renault Clio, 5, 9, and 11 share that same pad with the Xsara.
Some 306s are shown as using a pad DP 458/2(B), but the catalogue just doesn't explain what the 'B' means.

Ive got the pads in my hans right now. If I put them back to back , perfectly the same size , just the lug has moved down slightly. I have taken the pads around several motor factors and compared with various makes of pads and everytime a xsara one comes out the lug is too high,when I show them one of the old ones I always get a frown (sometimes they just say its not listed). Now the funny thing is I spent 2-3 hours trying to get the correct pads to fit just wouldnt go. Got the other pads to slide in nicley within 5 minutes job done . Ive checked citroens part net and it should be the same as all the other Xsaras . This is just weird.

Could some from europe have a look at this http://www.hella.com/produktion/HellaPo ... Brems1.pdf (possibly german) and look at page 9 for KLO LP1778 and page 4 for KLO LP699 and sort of translate for me .This may help me.(just something Ive searched for but cannot find english version
many regards
