OEM Part Number: confirm via VIN — front pads (aftermarket) Brembo P 61 135 / Bosch 0 986 424 860

Accuracy note: Covers the Vauxhall Grandland X (2017-) 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 61 135 (155 x 70 x 17 mm, prepared for wear indicator, ATE caliper, Prime, with anti-squeak plate, WVA 22813 / 25833); ATE 13.0460-7339.2 (155.1 x 70.5 x 17.7 mm, prepared for wear indicator, sensor excluded, ATE caliper); Bosch 0 986 424 860 (155.1 x 70.3/70.4 x 17.1 mm, low-metallic, WVA 25833, accessory kits 1987474433 and 1987474395); TRW GDB2193 (155.2 x 70.5 x 17 mm, prepared for wear indicator, ATE caliper); Delphi LP3384 (155.2 x 70.3/70.4 x 17.1 mm, prepared for wear indicator, ATE caliper, WVA 25833 / 22813); Ridex 402B1409 (155.3 x 71 x 17.1 mm, prepared for wear indicator, ATE caliper).
Pad sizes & variants	One front size only, 155 x 70 x 17 mm on ATE calipers (WVA 22813 / 25833), shared with the Peugeot 3008 II and Citroen C5 Aircross across all petrol, diesel and Hybrid4 variants.
Genuine (OE) numbers quoted	None quoted in catalogue listings — order genuine pads against your VIN
Fitment notes	Every set is prepared for the wear indicator, so the car's existing wear-sensor lead is reused and a pad set does not include a new one. There is no small-brake or large-brake split on this model.

A Genuine, Well-Corroborated Fix for Persistent Squealing — Vauxhall Grandland X Brake Pads

Brake squeal that persists even after fitting new pads and discs is a widely and consistently reported Vauxhall complaint, and one specific fix comes up repeatedly across owner forums as genuinely effective: applying copper grease (copper slip) to the back and edges of the pad where it contacts the caliper and carrier — never on the friction surface itself. This dampens the vibration between the pad and its mounting points that's usually the actual source of the noise, rather than indicating anything wrong with the pad material or disc condition. Several owners report squealing that persisted through multiple "health checks" at Vauxhall dealers (with no fault found) being resolved entirely once copper grease was applied — a cheap, simple step worth trying before assuming a deeper problem.

If copper grease doesn't fully resolve it: squeal that specifically comes and goes after the brakes have gotten hot, clearing the moment you touch the pedal, often points to the pads binding slightly in their carrier rather than a friction-material issue — cleaning and lightly filing the pad's locating tabs to reduce how tightly they sit in the carrier is a documented, genuine fix for this specific pattern.

Vauxhall Grandland X Brake Pads: Brake Pads Are One of the Few Truly Universal Parts

Every version of the Grandland X 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.

Vauxhall Grandland X 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 Grandland X 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

Rear pad, genuine reference	Sized to match the 268mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone.
Standard petrol/diesel, front pads	Sized to match the 304mm disc/caliper on this tier. Pad size genuinely scales with engine output and trim on this model, not just the disc diameter — always confirm the exact pad against your VIN rather than assuming from generation alone.
