E320 front brake pads

[bruces670]

Mine are due for replacement,a couple of questions? Do I need to remove an electrical connector from the abs pump? And are the front callipers on a wind back piston for the hand brake?
TIA

Push back pistons . Probably just 1 brake wear sensor to remove .
Hand brake is all on the rears

No need to unplug anything, pump wise on a 2008.

I seem to remember a French car in the 60's had the handbrake on the front?

Some Peugeot’s did in the 90’s

I think the takeaway from this is that the modern E320cdi doesn’t have one at the front , you Oldies are easily distracted

My Citroen Xantia had the handbrake on the front.
