Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility:
This brake disc is specifically designed for the Front Axle and is compatible with select models including FIAT BRAVO II (198), 500e, STILO (192), STILO Multi Wagon (192), Stilo Kasten / Kombi (192), New 500 Cabrio (332); ALFA ROMEO MITO (955); CHRYSLER Delta Schrägheck; and LANCIA DELTA III (844). Always verify fitment with your vehicle's specific details using the provided part number (09.5180.3X) and model codes (e.g., BTCM50) before purchase. Construction year from 11/2009 is also a key consideration.
Setup (Installation):
Installation of brake discs should only be performed by a qualified mechanic. The process involves removing the wheel, caliper, and old brake disc. The new disc must be torqued to specifications (Tightening Torque [Nm]: 98) and centered correctly (Centering Diameter [mm]: 59). Ensure all new hardware, if provided and specified, is used. It is highly recommended to replace brake pads concurrently with brake discs for optimal performance and longevity. A proper bed-in procedure is crucial after installation.
Care:
- Keep the braking surface clean and free from debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the disc surface.
- Regularly inspect the brake discs for signs of wear, such as deep grooves, scoring, or discoloration.
- Ensure brake pads are in good condition and making even contact with the disc.
- A minimum thickness of 24.5 mm should be maintained; replace the disc if it falls below this or shows significant damage.
