Brakes part number

[Ttwlr]

Want to get new brakes all round for my xsara Picasso 2.0 HDI
Was told I need part number as there's different types, how can I find this out please, it's a 2005 exclusive model.

Post up the last 8 digits of the VIN and we can look up the brakes fitted.

I'm getting all the parts for a full service and don't want to get wrong parts, can I use 10w 40 Castrol Magnatech oil ?

Richard - don't they also say you need the anti-rattle 2 shim set (4407 09) if using the 4254 75 pads according to the note?

[Ttwlr]

Many thanks for the information,
Can start looking now

I would order the shim set too - shouldn't be expensive, but the service docs say these are needed with these pads - the ones you will have already are probably meant to be replaced with the pads.

[RichardW]

It was about 6 years ago, but I'm pretty sure I just re-used the shims when I changed the pads on mine - or didn't bother fitting them - no recollection of buying them.

I've got some new rear pads that I got for my other car and never used them, they are Eicher brakes 101440329
Anyone confirm there fit mine and one site selling says yes and another saying No.

[GiveMeABreak]

Your Picasso doesn't have rear pads it has drums and brake shoes, as they only fitted rear discs and pads to the models that year that had the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) fitted, so no they won't fit! That's why Richard listed brake 'shoes' with the rest of the kit in his post.

So sorry I missed that bit,

Thank you
