Coating On The PCCB Brake Discs (Potential Causes)

The coating on the PCCB brake discs arises as a result of a high load and high temperatures, for example on a racing circuit. Check the following in such cases:

• Ventilation (brake cooling): All components are present, secured correctly and undamaged.
• Brake pad quality: Use the appropriate brake pads if the vehicle is being used on a racing circuit.
• The perforation bores -see Fig 1figure- in the brake discs must not be blocked. Clear them if necessary. To do this, observe the following note.
• If there is a coating on the pads, the brake discs can still be used provided the wear criteria of the brake discs are OK.
