Brake Rotor Wear, General Information

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

NOTE:

The wear is determined by determining the brake rotor thickness "and" the wear value with the carbon-ceramic brake wear tester:VAS6813 ; both must be measured three times respectively around the circumference.

The permitted brake rotor minimum thickness "min.th." and the wear value -C- are engraved on the brake rotor cup for the carbon-ceramic brake wear tester:VAS6813 .

The wear value -C- is different depending on the brake rotor and the measurement location.

NOTE:

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

"or"

if one of the three wear values -C- is reached or falls short when determining the wear using the carbon-ceramic brake wear tester:VAS6813 , the brake rotor must be replaced.

NOTE:

The wear value -C- is different depending on the brake rotor.

WARNING:

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