Brake Rotor Thickness, Checking

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

Determining wear using Carbon-Ceramic Brake Wear Tester:VAS6813 on ceramic brake rotor.

At a distance of 120° the marks for the measurement for deterring the wear can be found

Measure the brake rotor thickness at these three locations

Here is the third measuring point in the example

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

-- Measure the brake rotor thickness -x- three times around the circumference at the measuring locations.

If the brake rotor thickness "min.th." falls short at one measuring point, the brake rotor must be replaced.

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.

WARNING:

If a brake rotor is damaged or worn, check the other brake rotors for damage and wear.

If the brake rotor thickness does "not" fall short continue. Refer to DETERMINING WEAR USING Carbon-Ceramic Brake Wear Tester .
