Parts for your 2008 Holden Captiva 5-Pedal pads

2008 Holden Captiva 5 pedal pads — what they do and when to replace them

Based on Holden/GM technical references (GM Global Electronic Parts Catalogue for CG Captiva 2006–2011 and the Captiva CG workshop manual sections covering brake and clutch controls), the 2008 Holden Captiva 5 is fitted with removable rubber pedal pads on the brake pedal in both auto and manual variants, and on the clutch pedal in manual models. The accelerator is an electronic pedal module with an integral plastic tread and is not a separate replaceable pad. So yes, pedal pads are relevant to this model.

On a 2008 Captiva 5, the pedal pads are the grippy rubber covers that sit over the metal faces of the brake (and clutch, if manual). Their job is simple but critical: keep the driver’s foot planted securely, wet or dry, so braking and clutch control are predictable. Over time, the pads harden, smooth off, crack, or start curling at the edges, which can lead to a slippery pedal feel — especially in wet boots or jandals/thongs.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to give the pedal pads a quick once-over every 10,000 km or six months. Replace them if they’re getting shiny, thin, cracked, or if the lip that retains the pad to the pedal plate is stretched. In NZ, a worn or loose brake pedal pad can attract a WOF knock-back
