2020 Haval H6 brake calipers: what they do and how to look after them
Brake calipers are absolutely fitted to the 2020 Haval H6. Technical references such as the Haval/Great Wall Motors Owner’s Manual and service literature for the 2017–2020 H6 platform specify ventilated front discs and solid rear discs, both operated by floating brake calipers. Major aftermarket catalogues for 2020 H6 (e.g., Bendix, Bosch, TRW, DBA) also list front and rear pads, rotors and complete caliper assemblies for this model. That combination confirms brake calipers are relevant and used on the 2020 Haval H6 across typical Australasian deliveries.
On this H6, the calipers clamp the pads onto the rotors to slow and stop the vehicle. Each caliper houses piston(s), seals, dust boots and slide pins that let the unit centre itself and apply even force. When the driver presses the pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the piston out, the pads bite the disc, and friction converts speed to heat. Well‑serviced calipers mean confident stopping, even pad wear and fewer headaches on long Kiwi and Aussie road trips.
- Pulling to one side under brakes
- Uneven or rapid pad wear
- Brake drag, hot wheel or burning smell after a drive
- Spongy pedal or longer stopping distances
- Fluid weep around the piston or hose connection
Good servicing habits for H6 brake calipers:
- Inspect every 12 months or 15,000 km, sooner if you tow, commute in stop‑start traffic or drive coastal roads.
- Clean and lightly lubricate slide pins with high‑temp silicone/ceramic brake grease, replace torn boots and worn guide bushes.
- Check anti‑rattle clips and pad shims, replace if fatigued or rusty to prevent noise.
- Flush brake fluid (DOT 4 as specified) every 2 years, moisture and heat shorten caliper seal life.
- Never let a caliper hang from the hose, support it to avoid internal hose damage.
- If the vehicle has an electric park brake on the rear, follow the correct service/“maintenance mode” procedure with a suitable scan tool.
When replacement is due, quality new or remanufactured calipers are fine, do both sides on an axle to keep braking balanced. Use new copper washers/bolts where specified, torque fasteners to Haval specs, bleed the system properly (ABS‑safe), and bed in pads and rotors with gentle stops over the first 200–300 km. That way the 2020 H6 stops straight, quiet and strong.
Popular questions
How often should brake calipers on a 2020 Haval H6 be serviced?
They should be inspected every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first. If the H6 tows, lives by the coast, or does lots of city work, shorten the interval. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years to protect caliper seals and internal passages.
Can H6 brake calipers be rebuilt, or do they need complete replacement?
Many sliding calipers can be rebuilt with new seals, boots and pins if the pistons and bores are clean and free of pitting. If corrosion or scoring is present, complete replacement is the better bet for reliability. It’s best practice to service or replace calipers in axle pairs.
Does the 2020 Haval H6 use an electric park brake, and does that change servicing?
Some variants are equipped with an electric park brake. If fitted, the rear calipers may need to be placed into service mode and retracted using the correct procedure or a compatible scan tool. Always follow the Haval service instructions to avoid motor or mechanism damage.
