Bedding In Brake Pads And Brake Discs
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Porsche Macan, 2023 Porsche Macan, 2022 Porsche Macan, 2021 Porsche Macan, and 2020 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Information
- Replace brake discs once the maximum wear dimension has been reached.
- Re-machining of brake discs is not permitted!
New brake pads need a bedding-in time of about 200 km (125 miles)! Only then do they achieve their best friction coefficient and wear values.
- During this time, the brakes should be subjected to full stress when travelling at high speed only in emergencies.
- The slightly reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal.
- The same also applies after replacing the brake discs.
