CERAMIC BRAKE ROTOR, DETERMINING WEAR USING Carbon-Ceramic Brake Wear Tester:VAS6813: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE:

Before checking wear using the :VAS6813 the thickness of the brake rotor must be measured. Refer to BRAKE ROTOR THICKNESS, CHECKING .

NOTE:

This is a test procedure to determine the wear limit of the ceramic brake rotors

The Brake Rotor Can Be Identified by the Following Points:

At the printed marks -A through D-

NOTE:

The check occurs by determining the brake rotor thickness "and" the wear value with the :VAS6813 , both must be measured three times respectively around the circumference.

On the brake rotor cup the permitted minimum thickness "min.th" of the brake rotor is engraved.

On the brake rotor cup the wear value -C- of the brake rotor for the :VAS6813 is engraved.

Value -A- is a value from the production of the new brake rotor

The values -A and C- can be different depending on the location.

The values -A and C- can be different depending on the brake rotor.

Example of minimum thickness: -3-, brake rotor thickness. It must not fall short of this value.

NOTE:

The value -3- can be different depending on the brake rotor.
