5 Layers of Quality in Delphi Brakes

SHIMS

The finely tuned layers of OE dampening material help to reduce the transmission and amplitude of vibration and provide a thermal barrier for more consistent braking.

BACK PLATES

The backbone of every pad, our backing plates are manufactured from a high-strength
pressed steel and coated in a special powder for improved protection, installation and pressure transmission.

UNDER LAYER

The 3mm layer of OE under layer technology in all our pads absorbs noise and acts as a thermal insulator, reducing heat transfer to the brake fluid.

FRICTION MATERIAL

We use over 130 different friction ingredients to create unique formulations, each designed to ensure the best match of pad to vehicle application.

FRICTION SURFACE

Our OE configured chamfers, help shorten bedding in, and reduce initial squeal, for OE performance from day one. Additional slots allow the pad to flex, preventing stress cracks.

We Call it Delphi's 5 Layers of Quality

Contributing to a large part of the vehicle’s stopping power, brake pads are one of the most important components in the braking system - so when it comes to quality, there can be no compromise.

As a leading braking manufacturer, our pads are designed, manufactured and tested for outstanding performance.

Balancing Precision and Environmental Impact

Independent testing is vital in the automotive industry, ensuring unbiased results that prioritise consumer safety and environmental responsibility. 

Delphi subjected its latest brake pads to rigorous independent testing in Mojacar, Spain, where ideal conditions - over 3,180 hours of sunshine annually and minimal rainfall - ensured accurate assessments. Here,  Delphi’s brake pads were put to the test against other  premium brands. The goal was clear: to see which  pads could deliver not just in performance but also in  environmental responsibility...

...and the results are in!

Resource Highlights

From removal to fit, learn how to replace worn brake discs and pads with a Delphi Technologies Expert.
 

How do I remove the disk if it’s stuck? 


It is common for the disk to be stuck to the hub. To loosen it, go around the friction surface of the disk hitting it with a hammer until it becomes free. 


How do I clean the hub? 


Go around the whole hub using a wire brush (ideally on a drill) to make it spotless, paying particular attention to both the flat surface and angled surface where the disc locates.  


Where do I apply high temperature grease? 


Place it around the hub to prevent the disk from sticking to the hub. 


How do I check the replacement disks are the same before fitting? 


Simply put the new disk over the old one to make sure they are the same diameter. Then, place them side by side to make sure that they’re the same height. 


Why do I have to retract the brake caliper piston? 


Without the caliper piston being retracted, the new brake pads will not fit.  The new pads will be deeper than the existing worn ones. 


Do I need to clean the disks before fitting? 


No, you can put the disks straight on if they are Delphi Geomet coated. This makes them easier to fit as you don’t need to clean off any transport oil. There is also the added benefit that they are long-lasting as this coating provides superior protection against corrosion. 


How do I clean the caliper carrier before refitting? 


To clean the caliper carrier, use a wire brush at the points where the pads slide in and out of the carrier. 


How do I know which way to fit the new pad? 


On directional pads, there will be anarrow marked on backing plate showing the direction the wheel turns. It also has a small cut-out on the side which aligns to the piston on the inside.
