WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Audi SQ7, 2022 Audi S7, and 2022 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Does not apply when using the Carbon-Ceramic Brake Wear Tester: VAS6813 to determine wear.
The wear indicators on the brake rotor friction surface are positioned 120 degrees from each other.
- The wear indicators -arrow- can be recognized by their different color.
- On the front and back side of the brake rotor are three wear indicators.
- With increasing wear of the brake rotor a dark burned-out recess develops on the wear indicator.
WARNING:
Risk of accident due to insufficient braking effect.
- Ceramic brakes should be replaced when, one of the defined wear limits is reached. The brake rotor can no longer be driven.
If a brake rotor is damaged or worn, check the other brake rotors for damage and wear.
