Parts for your 2009 Holden Colorado-Pedal pads

2009 Holden Colorado Pedal Pads

Pedal-pads are absolutely relevant to the 2009 Holden Colorado. The Holden Colorado RA Series Workshop Manual (2008–2011), GM Global Electronic Parts Catalogue (MY2009), and Isuzu D‑Max/Colorado parts catalogues list rubber pedal covers for the brake pedal (all models) and the clutch pedal (manual models). These sources confirm the vehicle is designed to use slip-on rubber pads over the pedal plates, the accelerator is typically a moulded plastic tread, not a slip-on rubber pad.

On a 2009 Colorado, pedal-pads do a simple but vital job. They give grippy traction underfoot, help manage vibration, and protect the underlying metal pedal plate. That grip matters in wet boots and tradie gear, and it’s also a common roadworthy/WoF item across Australia and New Zealand—smooth or missing pads can earn a fail.

As part of regular servicing, pedal-pads should get a quick look every service interval. If the rubber is hard, shiny, cracked, or the edge lip won’t stay seated, it’s time to swap them. Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush, avoid silicone dressings or oily products that make the pad slippery. Check that the pad’s perimeter lip sits evenly all the way around the pedal plate—any lifted edge can catch and compromise pedal feel.

• Replace pads that are smooth or glossy
• Look for splits, missing chunks, or curling edges
• Confirm the pad isn’t fouling the carpet or floor mat
• Ensure the pad doesn’t reduce pedal travel or snag your footwear

Replacement is a five–ten minute, DIY-friendly job. Peel the old pad off, clean the pedal plate, then warm the new pad slightly (sunlight helps) so it’s more pliable. Hook the top edge first, stretch over the corners, and work the lip fully around the metal plate. Give the pedal a few presses to confirm consistent feel. For autos, you’ll be replacing the brake pad only, manuals have both brake and clutch pads. The accelerator pedal generally doesn’t use a separate rubber pad—don’t lubricate it, just keep it clean and dry. Genuine and quality aftermarket pads are both fine, just match the pad to transmission type and build year as per the GM EPC or the workshop manual. If a pad is missing or worn smooth, replace it straight away—grip on the pedal is cheap insurance in Aussie and Kiwi conditions.

FAQs

What pedal-pads does a 2009 Colorado have?
The 2009 Holden Colorado uses a rubber brake pedal pad on all variants and a rubber clutch pedal pad on manual models. The accelerator is a rigid moulded pedal and usually doesn’t take a slip-on rubber pad.

How often should pedal-pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed kilometre figure—replace when worn. Many owners see 60,000–120,000 km depending on footwear and use. Check at every service, if the pad is shiny, cracked, or won’t stay seated, fit a new one.

Are pads the same across all 2009 Colorado trims?
Brake and clutch pad designs are broadly consistent within the RA series, but auto vs manual differs. Always check against the VIN in the GM EPC or your parts supplier to ensure the right fit.
