Description
Genuine Bosch BP297 front brake pad set. Bosch part 0 986 AB2 529, also catalogued as DB1479BL. Seven sets in stock.
Supercheap Auto New Zealand sell this same BP297. We are cheaper and it is on our shelf rather than on order.
Mondeo and X-Type, and there is a reason they share a pad. The Jaguar X-Type was built on the Ford Mondeo III floorpan, so the front brakes are the same part. The box lists:
-
Ford Mondeo III from 2001, body code B4Y, the saloon
-
Ford Mondeo III from 2001, body code B5Y, the estate
- Jaguar X-Type 2.5 AWD
Bosch's own catalogue widens that to the Mondeo III hatchback and Turnier and the X-Type estate as well.
Pad thickness is 18.5mm, printed on the label. Worth measuring against your old set if you are unsure which of the Mondeo front setups you have.
What you get with genuine Bosch. Certified to ECE R90, copper free, asbestos free, and the set comes with the fitting accessories rather than pads alone. Four pads, one front axle.

Fitment
Mondeo III or X-Type on the front. Send the rego and we will check it, because the Mondeo III ran more than one front brake size across the range.
Fitting
- Use the accessories in the box. They are there because the caliper needs them.
- Compress the piston slowly and keep an eye on the reservoir.
- Both sides at once, then bed them in properly.
- The X-Type in particular is heavy for its size, so do not skimp on the bed-in.
Best fitted by a qualified mechanic.
