BRAKE CALIPERS EXCLUSIVE TO LKQ EURO CAR PARTS

WHY PAGID?

Technical leaders The Pagid name is synonymous with technical excellence. For more than 60 years, they have been at the forefront of innovation in brake friction. Every year, over £25million is invested in product research and development. This means that they are continually bringing new and better solutions – helping vehicle manufacturers to meet the ever increasing challenges of performance, sustainability and automation, and supporting the aftermarket with the latest OE specification products. Pagid was acquired in 2002 by TMD Friction who are one of the global leaders in braking friction technology. Exclusive to LKQ Euro Car Parts, Pagid is the OEM brand for you. Tested to the highest standards Every Pagid friction product meets ECE R90 – the benchmark European quality standard for brake friction. Pagid go much further to ensure maximum safety. With a worldwide team of 300 test engineers and technicians. Every friction formulation undergoes a rigorous testing programme that takes into account vehicle performance, loads, driving speeds and conditions –this includes 1,000 hours on a dynamometer, and 300,000 km of real-life road testing.

Pagid brake calipers are remanufactured to OE quality standards which means they will be returned to as near the same condition as possible to the original part. After the casting is cleaned, inspected, and plated, the caliper is rebuilt using new components, including new pistons and seals. Unlike cheaper ‘reconditioning’ options (which could just be cleaned and rebuilt using the old worn parts), every Pagid caliper undergoes quality control at each stage and must pass a final pressure test at the end of the line before it can be approved and released for sale. With a 24 month or 24,000 miles warranty, you can’t go wrong. With vehicle usage being down and the cold weather earlier in the year, this can cause problems for brake calipers. The flexibility and efficiency of the caliper seals (in particular the outer piston seal and the inner D Cut seal) can deteriorate due to the lack of movement and salt from the road. This combination can cause inefficiencies with the caliper performance - in some cases the piston may not release, causing the brakes to bind or, in the common fist type caliper, cause the sliders to stop working due to perished seals. This prevents the caliper from sliding as they are designed to do. Pagid and LKQ Euro Car Parts recommend an inspection of the efficient function of the caliper over the coming weeks to ensure 100% customer satisfaction each time.
