OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front pads (aftermarket) Brembo P 61 103 / Bosch 0 986 494 027

Accuracy note: Covers the Peugeot 2008 (2013-2019) as listed in the UK aftermarket catalogues. Front brake pads are sold by caliper system (ATE / Teves, TRW / Lucas, Bosch, Akebono, Brembo etc.) and by pad size, and one model usually has two or three pad sizes depending on engine, brake size and trim — a wrong size will not fit the caliper. The references below are UK aftermarket catalogue listings for this generation, labelled by brand with their width x height x thickness in mm; genuine numbers are shown only where a listing quotes one. Measure the old pad or check the caliper system against your VIN before ordering, and fit a new wear sensor where the set is only 'prepared for' one.

Front brake pads (aftermarket)	Brembo P 61 103 (137 x 59 x 18 mm, no wear contact, Bosch system, WVA 24883); Brembo P 61 066 (137 x 52 x 19 mm, no wear contact, Bosch, WVA 23954); Bosch 0 986 494 027 (137.1 x 51.7 x 18.8 mm, Bosch system, WVA 23599); Bosch 0 986 494 623 (137 x 51.5 x 18.8 mm, WVA 23954); TRW GDB1463 (137 x 50.8 x 18.8 mm, not prepared for a sensor, Bosch restriction); Ferodo FDB5025 (137.1 x 51.5 x 18.8 mm, not prepared for a sensor, WVA 23954); Delphi LP1727 (137.2 x 51.5 x 19 mm, not prepared for a sensor, WVA 23599).
Pad sizes & variants	Mainly about 137 x 51.5 x 19 mm (WVA 23599 or 23954); Brembo P 61 103 is taller at 59 mm (WVA 24883).
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine pads against your VIN
Fitment notes	Bosch caliper system; the front pads have no wear contact. Fitment for TRW, Ferodo and Delphi should be confirmed against the car. ATE, Pagid and Mintex are not listed

A Genuine Safety Warning Before Working on EPB-Equipped Rear Pads — Peugeot 2008 Brake Pads

This is worth taking seriously rather than skipping: before working on the rear pads on a car with an electronic parking brake, the EPB must genuinely be put into service mode using a proper diagnostic tool (Peugeot's own PP2000 or Diagbox, or an equivalent), and the battery negative terminal disconnected — otherwise the caliper motor can automatically apply itself while you're working on it, with a real, documented risk of injury to fingers caught in the mechanism. This isn't an exaggerated caution; it's a genuine physical safety point specific to how these calipers work, and skipping it for a "quick job" genuinely isn't worth the risk.

A genuinely well-corroborated brand recommendation worth knowing: persistent brake squeal that survives repeated pad replacements is a widely reported complaint, and multiple owners specifically and repeatedly recommend Brembo pads as resolving the issue completely where the standard-fit pads kept squealing regardless of how many times they were replaced. If you're on a second or third set of squealing pads, switching brand rather than simply replacing like-for-like is genuinely worth trying.

It's also worth knowing that Peugeot has replaced squealing pads free of charge in documented cases even on cars with very low mileage, once a dealer properly investigated rather than dismissing the noise — worth pushing for this rather than assuming you'll have to pay, particularly if the car is still relatively new.

Peugeot 2008 Brake Pads: Brake Pads Are One of the Few Truly Universal Parts

Every version of the 2008 uses brake pads that wear down through normal use — the only real variable is how quickly, which depends on engine, trim, and (where fitted) whether the car has any form of regenerative braking to ease the load.

Before you buy: pad size and compound vary by engine and trim. Always confirm against your VIN before ordering.

Peugeot 2008 Brake Pads: What They Do

Brake pads clamp against the discs to convert the car's momentum into heat, slowing it down. On any version of the 2008 with hybrid assistance or regenerative braking, this system handles a meaningful share of everyday slowing, which can genuinely extend pad life compared with a purely petrol or diesel equivalent.

Common Sizes

Mk1 (2013-2016), front pad, genuine reference	Confirm exact fitment via VIN — pad size on this model genuinely varies by engine and trim, not just by generation.
Mk1, most petrol/diesel variants, front pads	Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 266mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle.
Mk2 (2019 onwards), front pads	Genuinely a different, larger pad to match the 302mm disc/caliper on this higher tier — not interchangeable with the standard-tier pad on the same axle.
