  • Front brake pads — FAW OEM front brake pad part numbers reported: B5CA03328ZAKAT and B5CA03328ZA (community reports both codes for what appears to be the same/related OEM pad family —… (170 sources)
  • Brake caliper repair kits — Two main options reported for a front caliper rebuild: - B5CA0339KIT — full FAW-direct kit with piston, seals/rubbers, sold by Kitzapchasti and similar resellers. -… (127 sources)
  • Front brake discs — X80 front brake discs have two different OEM part numbers depending on generation: - Pre-restyling X80: front disc 5DA033251. - Restyle X80 (2018+): front disc 5DA133251. (126 sources)
  • Electronic parking brake — The X80's electronic parking brake (rear-axle) clamps the rear calipers with a motor/servo, not a cable. Before rear pad replacement the system normally needs to be… (113 sources)
  • Rear brake pads — FAW OEM rear brake pad part number: B5CA02648Z, available on Ozon at approximately 1000 RUB (RU market, Jan 2025); owners report the pads do not squeak. For pre-restyle… (89 sources)
  • Brake pad noise and quality — Brake pad squeal is a recurring, cross-brand complaint in the community. No single supplier is squeal-free across all reports; the pattern below is useful for setting… (69 sources)
  • Rear brake pad replacement — EPB and piston tool — Core mechanical fact — the rear caliper piston is threaded, not push-in. Unlike a typical front caliper, the rear brake piston sits on a worm/threaded shaft ("червячный… (28 sources)
  • Rear brake discs — type, thickness, Mazda cross-compat — Rear discs on the X80 are solid (not ventilated), and roughly half the thickness of the front discs. Front discs are single solid rotors of uniform thickness. Some… (26 sources)
  • Brake pad wear rate — front vs rear — Front brake pads wear roughly 2x faster than rear pads, attributed to weight transfer during braking (front axle carries ~70% of braking load, rear ~30%). Typical… (19 sources)
  • Drilled and perforated brake discs — Owners disagree on whether drilled (perforated) discs are worth buying for the X80. For standard discs see front brake discs and rear brake discs. (10 sources)
  • Brake fluid type and flush — Recommended brake fluid: Rosdot DOT 4 Class 6. A full system flush (changing the fluid at all four corners) takes approximately 910 ml. (7 sources)

  • Brake fluid reservoir cap — The brake fluid reservoir cap is small and easily lost during service — several owners report losing theirs. (3 sources)
  • LED brake-light transmission fault — Installing an LED bulb in the rear brake-light position (replacing the stock incandescent bulb) can confuse the transmission control unit: the ECU reads the LED's… (2 sources)
  • Manual parking brake lever stiffness — Reported symptom (low confidence, minimal detail, unresolved): the manual parking brake (handbrake) lever becomes increasingly difficult to release from the… (2 sources)
