Brake Rotor Thickness, Checking, With Stamped Minimum Weight

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2015 Audi S7, 2015 Audi RS 7, 2015 Audi A7 Quattro, 2014 Audi S7, and 2014 Audi RS 7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Brake rotor with stamped minimum weight.

Special tools and workshop equipment required

Use a commercially available caliper gauge or a micrometer gauge

The minimum permissible brake rotor thickness "min.Th." is engraved in the brake rotor cup.

-- Measure the brake rotor thickness three times on each wear indicator the circumference of the of the brake rotor. -x-

NOTE: When dimension x = min. Th. +0.05 mm is reached, then determine the wear on the brake rotor again using the wear indicators.

If the permissible minimum thicken "min.Th." is reached, then the brake rotor can no longer be driven. Replace the brake rotor.

In this case, replace the brake rotors on each side of the axle.

Brake pads likewise must always be replaced on both sides of the axle.
