Changing brake pads 2017 mg6turbo MG MG 6 Hatchback

Changing the brake pads on your 2017 MG6 Turbo is doable with some basic tools and careful steps. Here’s a quick rundown for the job, including resetting the brake pad wear warning:

1. Start by removing the wheel and locating the brake caliper.
2. Remove the caliper bolts and take off the caliper carefully—don’t let it hang by the brake hose; use a hanger or similar.
3. Push back the caliper piston with a brake caliper tool or C-clamp to make space for the new pads.
4. Swap out the old brake pads for new ones, making sure they sit correctly in the caliper bracket.
5. Before putting everything back, clean and lightly grease the caliper slide pins to keep things smooth.
6. Reassemble the caliper and wheel, then lower the car.

For resetting the brake pad wear warning on a 2017 MG6 Turbo, if it has a warning light, you usually need to reset it through the car’s onboard menu via the instrument cluster or infotainment system. Sometimes, it requires a diagnostic tool (OBD2 scanner) to reset the sensor properly.

If you don’t have a scanner, some owners report that cycling the ignition and using specific button combinations on the dashboard or steering wheel controls can reset the warning light, but it varies by model.
