Front Brake Pads Gen-2 (Bosch 0986AB1000)

OEM number not published here: no Proton front pad number for the Gen-2 was verified, so this entry is aftermarket-first. The number to quote is Bosch 0986AB1000, a front axle set of four pads listed by Malaysian sellers for the Gen-2 1.3 and 1.6 from 2004 to 2012. A Malaysian parts store sells it at RM76.90, discounted from RM109.86.

That is a parts-only price. Fitting is a workshop job on this car as far as this site is concerned: brakes are safety-critical, and the owner-level job stops at knowing what to buy and what a fair parts price is.

Ask for the old pads back. Uneven wear between the inner and outer pad points at a sticking caliper, which is a different repair from a pad change and should be priced before the new pads go in.

Verified against a Malaysian parts store listing for Bosch 0986AB1000 for the Proton Gen-2 1.3 and 1.6, 2004 to 2012, checked 2026-10-26. Retailer listing, not a Proton EPC; the Proton pad number remains unverified.
