Citroen ID19 + DS19 1966 - 1975

The Citroën ID19 and DS19 models from 1966 to 1975 are distinguished by an innovative braking system integrated with the vehicle’s unique hydropneumatic system. Here’s an overview:

Braking System and Manufacturer

The ID19 and DS19 feature one of the earliest applications of front disc brakes – an innovation that Citroën introduced as early as the 1950s. The brake booster is integrated into the hydraulic system, which also controls suspension and steering. The braking components are primarily manufactured by Bendix and Girling, ensuring high-quality braking performance.

Available Brake Pads

Brake pads for Citroën ID19 and DS19 models are available from Klassik Bremsen. These pads are designed to meet the specific requirements of the vintage braking systems, providing optimal performance for these classic vehicles.

Technical Specifications of the Braking System

Front Brakes: Disc brakes with internally ventilated rotors

Rear Brakes: Drum brakes

Braking System: Hydropneumatically assisted

Brake Force Distribution: Automatically adjusted via hydraulic pressure regulation

Front Rotor Size: Varies by model year, approximately 280 mm in diameter

Brake Booster: Hydraulically assisted

This combination of braking technologies makes the ID19 and DS19 models unique, ensuring stable braking performance, especially when paired with Citroën’s signature suspension system.
