Rear brakes on cars of the Lada Vesta family are of two types - disc and drum, respectively, and their replacement will differ from each other. Disc brakes are installed from the factory on models with a 1.8-liter engine, while other trims are equipped with drum brakes. AvtoVAZ explains this by saying that for a Lada Vesta with a 1.6-liter engine (106 horsepower), a drum brake system will be sufficient, and such a move, in turn, will reduce the final price of the product. It is worth noting that, if desired, the brake system can be replaced and discs installed instead of drums, however, such tuning will be a waste of money and will only bring moral satisfaction to the owner.
Standard pads Lada Vesta
A ventilated disc brake mechanism is installed on the front wheels of the Lada Vesta Cross St from the factory. The rear suspension is equipped with drum brakes. The exception is the “Sport” version, which comes with disc brakes. In such configurations there is no anti-lock braking system, but the discs themselves cope more effectively with the braking process. Drums are more suitable for city driving.
In the maximum configuration of Vesta, a pad wear sensor is installed, which produces a characteristic sound. Some cars have an electronic sensor that indicates wear and tear with a warning light on the dashboard.
The front pads were borrowed from the Renault Logan car. The following models are mounted from the assembly line onto the front wheels:
- with catalog article TRW 8200 432 336;
- Renault 410608481R or 8200432336;
- “TIIR” 8450108101 (Yaroslavl);
- “Lada-Sport” 8450038536.
The following are installed on the rear wheels from the factory:
- LADA 11196350208900 from the supplier “FERROVAZ” GMBH (Essen);
- 21905350208087 from the supplier “TIIR” (Yaroslavl).
It is recommended to inspect the pads on Lada Vesta every 15,00 km.
Safety
The new Lada Vesta is equipped with an adaptive system that can facilitate the braking process. The built-in electronics are configured to detect the speed and force of the driver pressing the pedal, due to which it instantly reacts and speeds up the stopping of the car.
Also, the 2015 Lada Vesta has a built-in electronic force distribution system. Its work begins at a time when the braking forces of the rear and front wheels exceed the norm. At such moments, the system begins to redistribute the load, due to which driving continues without skidding and other problems that may arise while driving.
According to the presented characteristics, the new Lada also has a stability control system. It performs the following actions:
- braking certain wheels depending on the situation,
- change in torque
- redirection of the front wheels.
Thanks to this, when turning, the new Lada Vesta does not begin to move away from the trajectory due to the braking of the rear inner wheel. All this ensures a high level of driving safety, which distinguishes the car from previous versions. Also, the built-in electronics allow you to maintain good vehicle controllability.

TRW GDB3332
Installed on Lada Vesta from the assembly line. Heat and frequent braking do not affect the integrity of the pad and braking performance.
LYNXauto BD5739
The unique composition of the friction lining allows friction to increase when heated, without weakening braking in emergency situations. These pads fit perfectly into place, do not generate dust, and do not make noise. Their cost remains relatively cheap, and the quality is at the level of the original.
Renault 410608481R
The part is also installed from the assembly line. These pads are distinguished by their perfect fit, noiselessness, wear resistance, and last as long as stated by the manufacturer.
Brembo P68033
Pads designed for high speed travel. They are equipped with anti-squeak protection, so they remain silent even under very intense loads. The disadvantage of this model is increased wear of the brake discs. It is recommended to install a set of Brembo pads and discs.
ATE 13.0460-2709.2
Front pads for Lada Vesta with a good service life. In addition, they prevent wear of the brake discs, despite long mileage. Car enthusiasts note that these components helped solve the problem with knocking calipers. Good quality will cost more than other ATE analogues.
Basic problems
Problems in the operation of the drum brake system are manifested by an increase in pedal travel and the appearance of knocking noises. If the brake fluid level is normal, this indicates abrasion of the linings or wear of the part above the permissible limits.
Parking brake malfunctions are characterized by an increase in the handle stroke. A normally working handbrake holds the car with 3-4 clicks of the ratchet. The drive cable has the ability to stretch, and the number of clicks increases. If this happens, then adjust the length of the cable by screwing in the nut with a wrench.

Signs of pad wear
Before each vehicle departure, check the amount of fluid in the brake system reservoir. The level must be above the min mark. If it is lower, this is one of the signs of abrasion.
Another sign is that the pedal softens at first and then drops. The distance from pressing the pedal to stopping the car increases noticeably.
If such signs, knocks and squeaks are detected, the pads are inspected. Check whether their wear has reached the limit values. For overlays the thickness limit is 2 mm. The maximum size of the drum rubbing surface is 204.45 mm.

| Negative | |
| 1. | Victor: last month I carried out diagnostics at the Auto Service Station-Lublino, I didn’t like it. There were no spare parts in stock, they suggested ordering them. The technician who was responsible for my car delayed the inspection for half an hour longer due to equipment failure. |
| 2. | Vasily: I previously had my car repaired at the Filter Service Station on Krasnobogatyrskaya, but I didn’t like it the last time. My technician was not there, and the “new guy” couldn’t identify the breakdown the first time. |
| 3. | Gennady: I’m looking for another service for maintenance, since I’m not satisfied with the quality of work at Zelenograd-Lada. There are no longer any spare parts in stock, the service station manager is constantly calling and offering promotional products. |
Impressions from the “Russian girl”
Vesta definitely left a pleasant impression. For the money, this is a well-built, spacious and well-thought-out car with a lot of goodies and good handling.
It costs an average of 563 thousand rubles. No problem, according to statistics from avtocod.ru, every fourth car is sold. Every third person is involved in an accident, every fourth is a lien or a repair bill. Vestas with unpaid fines, traffic police restrictions and after taxis are less common.
If you take it, keep in mind that its shortcomings are common to its entire class. Still, this is not a Golf, and it is unreasonable to demand anything more from it.
