Parts for your 2014 Holden Commodore-Pedal pads

2014 Holden Commodore pedal-pads — purpose, upkeep, and when to replace

Based on OEM workshop material and GM/Holden parts catalogues for the VF series (2013–2017), the 2014 Holden Commodore uses serviceable pedal-pads: a removable rubber brake pedal pad on all variants and, on manual models, a matching rubber clutch pedal pad. Many sport trims also feature alloy-style pedal covers with embedded rubber strips performing the same non-slip function. These are listed as discrete replacement items in technical parts listings and shown as serviceable components in workshop procedures, so pedal-pads are absolutely relevant to this vehicle.

The job of a pedal-pad is simple but vital: give reliable grip underfoot in the wet, reduce vibration and harshness, and keep pedal feel consistent so braking and clutch control stay predictable. The accelerator on most VF models is a moulded, hinged pedal with a textured face (or an alloy cover on some trims), the brake and clutch get the classic rubber pad that slips over the metal pedal plate.

As part of routine servicing, it’s smart to inspect the pads every 10,000 km or six months. Rubber hardens and wears, especially if the car sees lots of city stop–start or drivers are in wet boots. If the surface goes shiny, cracks, or the edges curl, grip drops off. That’s when stopping distances can creep up on slippery days, or a foot can slip during a quick pedal transfer — not what anyone wants.

• Signs it’s time to replace: smooth/glazed surface, splits or chunks missing, curling edges, or any foot slip in the wet.
• Replacement tips: the pads are push-on items. Pop the old one off, clean the pedal plate, warm the new pad slightly to soften it, then stretch the lip over the metal plate so it seats all the way around. For alloy-style covers, resecure with the correct clips or screws per the fitting guide.
• Use quality OEM or reputable aftermarket pads, avoid universal covers that can foul pedal travel.

It’s a quick, low-cost job that restores pedal feel and safety. After fitting, press each pedal firmly and check for secure seating and full, unobstructed travel before driving.

Popular questions about 2014 Holden Commodore pedal-pads

How often should pedal-pads be changed?
There’s no fixed interval, but inspection every service (around 10,000–15,000 km) is sensible. Replace whenever the rubber is shiny, cracked, or grip is reduced — that’s typically every few years depending on use and climate.

Are VE and VF pedal-pads interchangeable?
Many VE and VF brake/clutch pads cross over, but there are trim and transmission differences. Always match by VIN or build date and check the parts listing before ordering.

Do automatic models have an accelerator pedal-pad?
Most VF autos use a one-piece moulded accelerator pedal with a textured face, not a slip-on rubber pad. If worn or damaged, it’s generally replaced as an assembly or with an OEM cover on sport trims.
