2017 Holden Commodore pedal pads — fitted, functional, and worth a look at service time
Pedal pads are absolutely used on the 2017 Holden Commodore (VF Series II). Technical references such as the Holden VF Series II Service Manual and the GM Global Electronic Parts Catalogue list replaceable rubber pads for the brake pedal, and for the clutch pedal on manual models. The accelerator on VF generally uses an integral tread on the pedal assembly rather than a separate slip-on pad.
On this Commodore, the pedal pads do a simple but vital job: they give secure grip in all weather, help keep pedal feel consistent, and protect the metal pedal plate from wear. Good pads reduce the chance of a foot slipping off the brake in the wet, which is why worn or missing rubbers can lead to a failed roadworthy/WOF in Australia and New Zealand. They also damp a bit of vibration and make everyday driving that touch more comfortable.
- Automatic VF: one replaceable brake pedal pad.
- Manual VF: replaceable brake and clutch pedal pads, accelerator is a full assembly if the tread’s worn.
During routine servicing, a quick inspection is smart. Look for shiny or glassy surfaces, hardening, cracks, curled edges, or any looseness. If a pad goes slick when wet, it’s time to replace it. Keeping them clean matters too—use mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid silicone or tyre shines on pads, they can make the surface slippery.
- Replacement is straightforward: pull the old rubber off the metal plate, wipe the plate clean, then work the new pad on from one edge and seat the lip all the way around. Warming the pad slightly helps it stretch and sit properly.
- For accelerator issues, check for damage or excessive smoothing, expect to replace the pedal assembly rather than a pad on most VF variants.
Choosing quality matters. Genuine or reputable aftermarket pads are moulded to fit and use the right compound for grip and longevity. Match parts to the VIN or build to ensure the correct pad shape—VF auto and manual pedals differ. If a pad refuses to seat or the pedal plate is bent, a technician should take a look.
Popular questions about 2017 Holden Commodore pedal pads
Do all 2017 Commodores have replaceable pedal pads?
Yes—brake (and clutch on manuals) use replaceable rubber pads. The accelerator typically has an integral tread on the pedal module rather than a separate pad.
How often should pedal pads be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval, replace when they’re smooth, cracked, hard, or loose. Many cars need new pads somewhere between 60,000–120,000 km depending on footwear, climate, and driving conditions.
Can worn pedal pads cause a WOF/roadworthy fail?
They can. If the inspector finds the brake or clutch pedal surface slippery or missing its pad, it may be flagged for safety. Fresh pads are an easy, low-cost fix.
