- Lang levetid: Superior formulation dissipates heat effectively for long-lasting friction performance and reduced brake fade.
- Cleaner Wheels: Proprietary formulation provides excellent braking performance with reduced rotor wear, contributing to less brake dust.
- Design i ét stykke: Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI™) technology integrates friction material, backing plate, and insulator into a single brake pad unit for select applications.
- Hardware inkluderet: Premium stainless-steel hardware is included for select applications, facilitating proper installation.
- Zero Copper Formulation: Features Wagner OE25 zero-copper friction formulation, meeting environmental standards.
- Asbestos-Free: The friction material is asbestos-free.
2. Opsætning og installation
Proper installation of brake pads is crucial for vehicle safety and performance. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified automotive technician. If you choose to perform the installation yourself, ensure you have the necessary tools, knowledge, and safety equipment.
2.1 Kontrol før installation
- Verify that the Wagner ThermoQuiet QC726 brake pads are the correct fit for your vehicle's make, model, and year.
- Inspect brake rotors for wear, scoring, or warping. Replace rotors if necessary to ensure optimal braking performance and pad life.
- Ensure all included hardware is present and matches the components being replaced.
2.2 Installationstrin (generelle retningslinjer)
- Løft og understøt køretøjet sikkert. Fjern hjulet.
- Remove the brake caliper and old brake pads.
- Clean the caliper and caliper bracket thoroughly.
- Install new stainless-steel hardware (clips) onto the caliper bracket.
- Apply a thin layer of appropriate brake lubricant to caliper slide pins and contact points where the pads meet the caliper bracket. Avoid getting lubricant on the friction material or rotor surface.
- Install the new Wagner ThermoQuiet QC726 brake pads into the caliper bracket.
- Reinstall the brake caliper and secure it according to manufacturer specifications.
- Repeat for all wheels requiring brake pad replacement.
- Pump the brake pedal several times to ensure the pads are seated against the rotors before driving.
2.3 Break-in Procedure (Bedding-in)
After installation, a proper break-in procedure is essential to optimize brake performance and longevity. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from varying speeds, allowing the pads to conform to the rotors and transfer a layer of friction material to the rotor surface. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional technician for specific recommendations.

3. Operating Characteristics and Performance
The Wagner ThermoQuiet QC726 Ceramic Disc Brake Pads are designed to deliver consistent and reliable performance under various driving conditions.
- Stille præstation: The advanced friction formulation and IMI™ technology work together to minimize brake noise, providing a smooth and quiet braking experience.
- Superior Stopping Power: Engineered for effective deceleration and consistent pedal feel.
- Forbedret holdbarhed: The ceramic material and heat-dissipating design contribute to a longer service life for both the pads and rotors.
- Reduced Brake Dust: The proprietary formulation helps keep wheels cleaner by minimizing the production of brake dust.
4. Vedligeholdelse
Regular inspection and maintenance of your vehicle's braking system are vital for safety and performance. While Wagner ThermoQuiet QC726 brake pads are designed for durability, periodic checks are recommended.
- Rutineinspektioner: Have your brake system inspected by a qualified technician at recommended service intervals, typically during tire rotations or oil changes.
- Pude slid: Monitor brake pad thickness. Replace pads when they reach their minimum recommended thickness to prevent damage to rotors and ensure effective braking.
- Rotorens tilstand: Ensure brake rotors remain in good condition. For optimal performance, it is recommended to pair Wagner TQ brake pads with Wagner E-Shield® Rotors.
- Bremsevæske: Check brake fluid level and condition. Replace brake fluid according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations.
5. Fejlfinding af almindelige problemer
While Wagner ThermoQuiet QC726 brake pads are designed for high performance, certain issues may arise. This section provides general guidance; always consult a professional technician for diagnosis and repair.
- Bremsestøj (hvinende/gnidende):
- Ensure proper break-in procedure was followed.
- Check for proper installation of anti-rattle clips and shims.
- Inspect rotors for uneven wear or damage.
- Verify that caliper components are moving freely and lubricated correctly.
- Reduceret bremseevne:
- Check brake fluid level and for any leaks in the system.
- Inspect for air in the brake lines (requires bleeding).
- Assess brake pad wear and rotor condition.
- Ensure proper caliper function.
- Excessive Brake Dust:
- While Wagner ceramic pads are designed to reduce dust, some dust is normal. Excessive dust may indicate an issue with rotor surface or improper break-in.
- Ensure rotors are clean and free of contaminants.
If you experience persistent braking issues, seek immediate professional assistance.
