Are the Clio brake pads that same as a Megane?

[Rick]

I got some new discs and pads delivered today with the intention of fitting them tomorrow. I've just opened the box and noticed that the label on the side of the pad box says their for a Megane 2000 - >, not a Clio. I haven't had a chance to look at the ones currently fitted (night time and all that) so was wondering if someone can ease my mind before I start taking the car apart tomorrow. They've got like a butterly type clip at the top if that helps...


Cheers

Rick

The same brakes are fitted on some Megans.
I'll trya nd find a picture of the pads.
Do you have any part number?

 

[Rick]

I'll get you a pic of the pads I've got Edde, just a sec...

However you cannot use the pad wear indicators they have in the picture so I've no idea where there even there.

Hmm, the ones I have look like this. Fairly similar to the ones in that K-tec pic. I'll just have to try it and see.
