Test Values And Wear Limits For 18-Inch Brake System (Cayenne S/Cayenne Diesel (U.S.A. Only)/Cayenne Diesel S/Cayenne Hybrid)
Information
Depending on the extent of wear on cast iron brake discs, two condition criteria can make replacement necessary:
- Formation of cracks at advanced stage on the brake disc friction surfaces .
- Minimum brake disc thickness is not retained due to wear (material erosion due to friction) . → 46500200 CHECKING FRONT BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT) → 46530250 CHECKING REAR BRAKE DISCS (WEAR ASSESSMENT)

Possible complaints
- Damage due to lack of use (rusting). This causes vibrations in the steering wheel, noises and brake pedal pulsation.
- Brake disc becomes distorted as a result of serious driving.
- Too much lateral runout when new brake discs are fitted on dirty or distorted wheel hubs.
Procedure
- Check brake disc for cracks, minimum thickness, lateral runout, thickness tolerance, flatness and surface roughness.
- If necessary, (depending on the actual brake disc thickness and the brake disc wear limit) machine the brake disc using one of the disc brake dressing machines approved by Porsche.
- The brake disc must only be reworked symmetrically, i.e. evenly from both sides! Read the operating instructions for the disc brake dressing machine!
