Brake system parts in the Transit Custom MK3

The brake system consists of several main components:

Brake pads: Friction materials that press against the brake discs to slow or stop the vehicle.
Brake discs (rotors): Metal discs attached to the wheel hub that work with the brake pads to decelerate the vehicle.
Brake calipers: Devices in which the brake pads are housed and pressed against the discs by hydraulic pressure.
Brake lines and hoses: Channels that conduct brake fluid from the brake master cylinder to the brake calipers.
Master brake cylinder: Converts the driver's brake pedal input into hydraulic pressure.
Brake fluid reservoir: Contains the brake fluid required for the hydraulic brakes.

Brake pads in the Transit Custom MK3

The Transit Custom MK3 uses special brake pads tailored to its braking system. The front brake pads have the following specifications:

Width: 172 mm
Height: 66 mm
Thickness: 17 mm

These brake pads are supplied with an electrical wear indicator and include the necessary accessories for installation.

Brake discs in the Transit 2024 Custom

The brake discs or rotors are crucial for effective braking. For the Transit Custom MK3, the front brake discs typically have the following dimensions:

Diameter: 308 mm
Thickness: 33 mm
Minimum thickness: 30 mm
Height: 55 mm
Number of holes: 5
Centre diameter: 93 mm
Bolt hole circle diameter: 111 mm

It is important to check the exact specifications based on the vehicle variant to ensure compatibility.

Brake pad replacement interval for the Transit Custom MK3

The replacement interval for brake pads on the Transit Custom MK3 depends on driving conditions and load usage. Under normal conditions, brake pads should be checked every 20,000 km and replaced approximately every 40,000 to 60,000 km. However, vehicles used in heavy-duty or frequent stop-and-go traffic may require more frequent inspections and replacements. Signs of worn brake pads include increased stopping distance, squealing or grinding noises and the appearance of a brake warning light on the dashboard.

Brake problems in the Transit Custom 2024

Owners of the Transit Custom MK3 have reported certain brake-related problems:

Brake fluid warning light activation: For some drivers, the "low brake fluid" warning light came on even though the reservoir was full. This may indicate air in the brake system or possible leaks.
Brake pad and disc wear: Depending on driving habits and conditions, brake pads and discs may wear unevenly or prematurely, resulting in reduced braking efficiency. To ensure optimum performance, regular inspections are recommended.
Brake caliper problems: Stuck or defective brake calipers can lead to uneven braking or increased pad wear. Regular maintenance and timely replacement are crucial to prevent such problems.

Understanding the components, specifications and potential problems of the braking system in the Transit Custom MK3 is critical to maintaining safety and performance. Regular maintenance and the timely correction of irregularities will ensure a reliable braking experience. Less text
