Basic Information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Checking involves the following:

Visual inspection for any surface changes to the brake disc friction surfaces Indication of wear: Associated surface fracture > 1 cm²-arrow- , but no accumulation of smaller fractures → Visual inspection of the surfaces of the brake disc friction surfaces (indication of wear) .

Assess the surface roughness (Sr) of the brake discs (max. 80 μm permitted), since this affects smoothness of braking (noise), braking performance/pedal pressure and brake pad idle time → Evaluating surface roughness (Sr) (max. 80 micrometer permitted) .

Check brake discs for minimum thickness -x- . The minimum thickness of the brake disc (example: Min. Th. 33.7 mm) is stamped on the brake disc chamber → Checking brake discs for minimum thickness .
