Quick answer

We handle brake pads replacement on 8 Jaguar models spanning 2008–2024 at our KPHB workshop — XE, XF, XJ, F-Pace, E-Pace and I-Pace and 2 others. Hardware we work on includes Front: 325mm vented + Pagid OE (Project 8: 400mm carbon-ceramic + Brembo 6-pot). Rear: 325mm vented + Pagid + EPB, ATE 1-pot front, 325mm vented (XE SV Project 8: Brembo 6-pot 400mm carbon-ceramic), Front: 350mm vented + Pagid OE (XFR-S: 380mm 6-pot Brembo). Rear: 326mm vented + Pagid + EPB and ATE 1-pot front, 350mm vented (XFR-S: Brembo 6-pot 380mm), diagnosed on JLR SDD on a Jaguar-licensed VCI with OE or OEM-equivalent parts. Recurring Jaguar symptoms we fix are Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp pad change, Front pad squeal under 30 km/h after wet drive (glazed disc film) and Project 8 carbon-ceramic disc surface pitting from generic pad compound. Work starts from ₹4,500 – ₹16,000, with a written fixed-price estimate after a free inspection, 12-month warranty, free pickup and drop across Hyderabad, and invoices that usually land 30–40% under authorised Jaguar dealer quotes.

About Jaguar brake pads replacement at Metre Per Second

Brake pads are the consumable that does the actual stopping — a friction-compound puck pressed against the rotating disc by the caliper piston. They wear down with every brake application, and on Hyderabad's stop-start traffic (avg city commute is 5-12 km at 18 km/h with hundreds of stops) front pads typically last 25,000-40,000 km on petrol cars and 18,000-30,000 km on heavier diesel SUVs and electric/hybrid models that recover energy through regen but still depend on friction braking for hard stops. A pad change isn't just 'pop the old, fit the new'. We do it the OEM way: pads matched to your car's friction-rating (low-met for European cars, ceramic for Toyota, NAO for newer Volvo), wear sensors replaced (one per axle on most Audi/BMW/Mercedes/VW/Skoda; integrated on Jaguar/LR/Volvo with iBooster), caliper guide pins cleaned and re-greased with copper or ceramic anti-seize, piston dust boots inspected, brake fluid bled fresh through the corner being worked (DOT 4 LV for VAG, DOT 4 Class 6 for BMW/MB, OE Volvo brake fluid for XC60/90), and the EPB (electronic parking brake) put into Service Mode via the right scan tool — VCDS / ODIS for VAG, ISTA+ for BMW, XENTRY for Mercedes, IDS / SDD for JLR, VIDA / DiCE for Volvo. Skip any of these and you get squeal, judder, ABS faults, EPB error 'C2A06' or 'C2A07', and uneven wear that scraps the discs in 5,000 km. At MPS we stock OEM-supplier pads on the bench: Brembo (factory pads for Audi RS, BMW M, Mercedes-AMG, Range Rover Sport SVR, Volvo Polestar), Textar (BMW, MB, VAG OE), Pagid (BMW, MB, JLR), ATE (VW, Audi, Volvo OE), Akebono (Toyota, Lexus, BMW Performance), Bosch (universal). Every job is photographed before/after and ends with a 30 km Hyderabad road test (KPHB → ORR → Hi-Tech City → back) to bed in the new compound and verify pedal feel and ABS function.

Jaguar brake pads replacement — frequently asked questions

Is my Jaguar covered for brake pads replacement at your Hyderabad workshop?

8 Jaguar models — XE (2015-2022), XF (2008-2024), XJ (2010-2019), F-Pace (2016-2024), E-Pace (2017-2024), I-Pace (2018-2024), F-Type (2013-2024) and XJ L (2010-2019). Body styles range across Sedan, SUV and Convertible. Each of those Jaguar models has its own brake pads replacement page listing the exact brake pad fitted, the faults we log on it in Hyderabad and what the job involves.

Do you know the specific brake pad fitted to my Jaguar?

The Jaguar hardware through our bay covers Front: 325mm vented + Pagid OE (Project 8: 400mm carbon-ceramic + Brembo 6-pot). Rear: 325mm vented + Pagid + EPB, ATE 1-pot front, 325mm vented (XE SV Project 8: Brembo 6-pot 400mm carbon-ceramic), Front: 350mm vented + Pagid OE (XFR-S: 380mm 6-pot Brembo). Rear: 326mm vented + Pagid + EPB, ATE 1-pot front, 350mm vented (XFR-S: Brembo 6-pot 380mm), Front: 380mm vented + Brembo OE (XJR575: 400mm 6-pot two-piece). Rear: 376mm vented + Pagid + EPB, Brembo 4-pot front, 380mm vented (XJR575: 400mm 6-pot), Front: 350mm vented + Brembo OE (F-Pace SVR: 395mm 6-pot). Rear: 325mm vented + Pagid + EPB and Brembo 4-pot front, 350mm vented (F-Pace SVR: Brembo 6-pot 395mm), plus 10 other factory fitments. Codes we work to: ATE 1-pot front, 325mm vented (XE SV Project 8: Brembo 6-pot 400mm carbon-ceramic), ATE 1-pot front, 350mm vented (XFR-S: Brembo 6-pot 380mm), Brembo 4-pot front, 380mm vented (XJR575: 400mm 6-pot), Brembo 4-pot front, 350mm vented (F-Pace SVR: Brembo 6-pot 395mm), ATE 1-pot front, 325mm vented and Brembo 4-pot front, 350mm vented + integrated brake control unit. By model that breaks down as XE — Rear electronic — JLR SDD / IDS Service Mode required, XF — Rear electronic — JLR SDD / IDS Service Mode required, XJ — Rear electronic — JLR SDD / IDS Service Mode required, F-Pace — Rear electronic — JLR SDD Service Mode + adaptation reset, E-Pace — Rear electronic — JLR SDD Service Mode + adaptation and I-Pace — Integrated electrohydraulic — JLR SDD bleed sequence required. Pinning the variant down first is not pedantry — a XE and a XJ L take different parts, different clearances and a different adaptation afterwards.

What Jaguar brake pad problems do you see most in Hyderabad?

Model by model, the faults we log are XE — Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp pad change; Front pad squeal under 30 km/h after wet drive (glazed disc film); Project 8 carbon-ceramic disc surface pitting from generic pad compound, XF — Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp pad change; Front pad squeal under 30 km/h after wet drive (glazed disc film); XFR-S Brembo 6-pot pad knock-back on cold start, XJ — Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp; Brembo front pad knock-back on cold start (X351 XJ); XJR575 two-piece disc bell rivet rattle when cold, F-Pace — Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp pad change; Brembo front pad knock-back on cold start (very common F-Pace); F-Pace SVR Brembo 6-pot pad squeal under sport driving, E-Pace — Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp; Front pad squeal in monsoon at low speed (glazed disc film); Brake judder from DTV after 28,000 km on cold-bedded OEM discs, I-Pace — Front pad squeal at very low speed when battery cold (regen disabled, friction-only); Rust ring on the disc face from low friction use (regen does most stopping); Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp, F-Type — Front pad squeal at low speed from a glazed disc / cold-bedded aftermarket pads; Wear-sensor 'open circuit' fault after Kondapur monsoon corrosion on the wire; Inner front pad worn far faster than outer — sticking caliper guide pin and XJ L — Front pad squeal at low speed from a glazed disc / cold-bedded aftermarket pads; Wear-sensor 'open circuit' fault after Jubilee Hills monsoon corrosion on the wire; Inner front pad worn far faster than outer — sticking caliper guide pin. Taken together the recurring themes on Jaguar are Rear EPB caliper motor failure from non-JLR C-clamp pad change, Front pad squeal under 30 km/h after wet drive (glazed disc film), Project 8 carbon-ceramic disc surface pitting from generic pad compound, Brake judder from DTV above 120 km/h after 30,000 km, Wear-sensor wire failure after 5+ years in Hyderabad humidity and XFR-S Brembo 6-pot pad knock-back on cold start. Hyderabad's crawl-speed traffic, 45°C summers and inconsistent fuel bring them forward by 20–30% against the Jaguar maintenance schedule, so we chase the root cause before quoting instead of replacing parts on symptoms.

Can you read Jaguar-specific fault codes and live data?

Yes — every Jaguar brake pads replacement starts with a full-system scan on JLR SDD on a Jaguar-licensed VCI, so we read manufacturer live values, freeze-frame data and adaptation counters rather than generic OBD-II codes. That matters on Jaguar, because ATE 1-pot front, 325mm vented (XE SV Project 8: Brembo 6-pot 400mm carbon-ceramic), ATE 1-pot front, 350mm vented (XFR-S: Brembo 6-pot 380mm), Brembo 4-pot front, 380mm vented (XJR575: 400mm 6-pot), Brembo 4-pot front, 350mm vented (F-Pace SVR: Brembo 6-pot 395mm) and ATE 1-pot front, 325mm vented each report different parameter blocks and need their own test plan. After the repair we run whatever the brake pad on your XE or XF needs — coding, basic settings, calibration or a guided adaptation — then re-scan and road-test to confirm the fault memory stays clear.

What will brake pads replacement on my Jaguar cost?

Indicative rates: Front pads (OEM) ₹4,500 – ₹16,000; Rear pads + EPB reset ₹5,500 – ₹14,000; All-four bundle ₹9,500 – ₹32,000; Caliper service / corner ₹1,800 – ₹4,500. Where your Jaguar lands inside that band depends on the variant — a XE does not price like a XJ L, and models on Front: 325mm vented + Pagid OE (Project 8: 400mm carbon-ceramic + Brembo 6-pot). Rear: 325mm vented + Pagid + EPB carry different part costs to those on ATE 1-pot front, 325mm vented (XE SV Project 8: Brembo 6-pot 400mm carbon-ceramic). You get a written fixed-price estimate after a free inspection and before any teardown, normally 30–40% below an authorised Jaguar quote.

What is the turnaround for brake pads replacement on a Jaguar?

Most Jaguar jobs finish in 1–3 working days, and diagnosis plus the written estimate are usually same-day. Access drives the rest: a XE or XF is straightforward, whereas a XJ L on 380mm vented front (Brembo), 365mm vented rear disc needs extra bench time and a post-fit adaptation. Anything needing a part flown in for a Jaguar of that generation adds a day or two; we confirm the timeline with the quote and send daily photo updates from the bay.

What warranty do you give on Jaguar brake pads replacement?

The 12-Month Warranty applies to parts and labour on every Jaguar job, with a free re-check at the KPHB bay during the cover period. Nothing below OE-equivalent goes onto a XE, XF, XJ, F-Pace and E-Pace or any other model in the list, and because we itemise part numbers and supplier brands on the invoice you can verify the spec against Jaguar documentation before you pay.

Can you still get parts for an older Jaguar such as the XF?

Yes. Coverage runs across 2008–2024, and the oldest entry in our Jaguar table is the XF (2008-2024). For Jaguar cars outside dealer parts support we source OE-equivalent components directly from the original suppliers, and where the brake pad is rebuildable we overhaul the existing unit rather than quoting a full assembly — usually the difference between a viable repair and writing the car off.

Do you offer free pickup and drop for Jaguar owners in Hyderabad?

Collection and return are free of charge, and we run it daily to Madhapur, Gachibowli, Hi-Tech City, Kondapur, Begumpet, Secunderabad, KPHB, Kukatpally, Manikonda and Financial District plus a dozen more areas. A Jaguar that cannot be driven safely goes on a flatbed at no extra cost. Message 8555824915 on WhatsApp with your model and year — XE, XF or any other car in the list — and you will have a slot confirmed that day.

Why choose Metre Per Second over an authorised Jaguar service centre?

Two differences matter. First, we diagnose on JLR SDD on a Jaguar-licensed VCI, the same platform the dealer uses, so nothing is guessed. Second, we repair at component level — a dealer's fix for the brake pad on a XE is usually a complete assembly swap, where ours is a targeted rebuild. The same technician quotes, repairs and signs off the car, and the result is typically 30–40% below a Jaguar dealer invoice on OE-grade parts across all 8 models we list.

General brake pads replacement questions

How much does brake-pad replacement cost in Hyderabad?

For a Volkswagen Polo or Skoda Rapid, OEM front pads + sensor + fluid bleed runs ₹4,500-9,500. For an Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes E-Class or Volvo XC60, expect ₹8,500-16,000 for fronts (Brembo or ATE OE-spec). Rear pads with EPB reset add ₹5,500-14,000 depending on model. The most cost-effective option is a four-wheel bundle: ₹9,500-22,000 for sedans / hatchbacks, ₹16,000-32,000 for full-size luxury SUVs (Q7, X7, GLE, Range Rover). All quotes are fixed before work starts and include OEM-supplier pads, sensor refresh and DOT 4 fluid bleed.

Which brand of brake pads do you fit?

We only fit OEM-supplier brands: Brembo (Audi RS, BMW M, AMG, Volvo Polestar, Range Rover Sport SVR factory pads), Textar (BMW / Mercedes / VAG OE), Pagid (BMW / Mercedes / JLR), ATE (VW / Audi / Volvo OE), Akebono (Toyota / Lexus / BMW Performance), and Bosch (universal). We never fit unbranded 'ECE-R90' generics — they squeal, glaze the disc, and reduce stopping power. Every pad is shown to you in its sealed OE box before fitment.

Do I need to replace the discs at the same time as the pads?

Only if the discs are below their MIN thickness spec (etched on the disc bell — usually 22-24 mm front, 8-10 mm rear), have runout above 0.05 mm, or have visible cracks / scoring deeper than 0.5 mm. We measure every disc with a digital micrometer + dial gauge before quoting. About 60% of pad-only jobs need disc skimming or replacement at the same time on cars over 60,000 km. We'll never tell you the disc needs replacing if it doesn't — and we share the measurement readings with you.

Why do my new brake pads squeal?

Three reasons: (1) wrong friction compound for your car (generic NAO pads on a low-met European caliper) — fix is to refit OEM-supplier pads; (2) glazed disc surface from cold-bedding — fix is to skim or replace the disc; (3) missing or damaged anti-squeal shims — fix is to refit OE shims. Properly bedded-in OEM pads on a clean disc with anti-squeal shims do not squeal. We bed-in every job over 30 km of city + highway driving before we sign off.

What is EPB reset and why do you charge for it?

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is the rear caliper motor on every modern Audi A4 / A6, BMW 3 / 5 / X3 / X5, Mercedes C / E / GLC / GLE, Volvo XC40 / XC60 / XC90, Jaguar XE / XF / F-Pace, Range Rover and most VW Tiguan / Skoda Kodiaq. Pushing the rear piston back with a C-clamp (without putting the EPB in Service Mode via the OEM scan tool) breaks the motor — you'll see a parking-brake fault on the dash and the only fix is to replace the EPB caliper (₹18,000-42,000 each). We don't charge extra for EPB reset — it's included in every rear-pad job. We just want you to know that any workshop NOT doing this is wrecking your calipers.

How long does a brake-pad job take?

Front pads only: 1.5-2 hours. All four pads + fluid bleed + EPB reset: 3-4 hours. Add 1 hour if discs need skimming on the lathe, or 1 day if discs need to be ordered. We share live photos of the old pads, sensor and disc condition before fitting the new parts so you can approve the work in real time.
