I tried Euro Car Parts but the search results show brake pads of differing sizes. So how do I go about finding out the brake pad sizes I need?

Also, what brake pad size do I need?

Hi all. I'm considering having a go at changing the brake pads myself on my 2021 1.5 TSI petrol octavia. They have had a squeeling sound since the beginning (45k km now), and I'm getting quite sick of it. But not willing on paying extortionate garages in my area to change them, as I've heard it's a doable job if you take your time. How hard is it? With no experience and just learning on the go from youtube vids. I have a lot of tools so that won't be problem. I'm also willing on just purchasing whatever tools I need. Are there any things I need to pay specific attention to?

I've had this problem for a while now. So every now and then, in certain situations (it doesn't happen consistently), the clutch pedal seems to have a 'notch' in the middle when coming back up. It's not smooth, as if there is hesitation in the middle. What could be wrong? It's a 1.5 tsi 2021 octavia manual.

That's underneath the bonnet. I'd like to know where the air gets sucked in exactly on the outside of the bumper. How high it is from the bottom of the car.

Thank you for your sensible answer. But I'd still like to know, in case I hit a puddle accidentally for instance.

What with all the floodings and whatnot, just trying to know how deep of a puddle I could potentially pass without sucking up water in into the air intake.

Yes, exactly. Services had some oil.

41k km atm. Writing on engine cover is oil type they used in the factory. I've heard those 1.5 TSI engine sound kind of diesel-y due to their high pressure fuel injection. It has had 5 services over the years. Most recent one is 2 months ago with new oil and filter.

Sorry, last edit: mechanic dumped G12++ in it. Can't edit posts after a period of time here.

Anyone please? I meant G12 vs G12 evo by the way...

My mechanic dumped G20+ coolant instead of G20 evo in it. Is that bad? Or does it even matter?

I have a 1.5 TSI 2021 estate Octavia. I've heard the Bosch windshield wipers are great. Which length do I get from Amazon?

I guess I'm kind of panicking. I've always said to my wife we will drive this car for 10 years. Now I've possibly botched it up by not paying attention to such a simple thing. It only has 38k km too.
