FAQs

Are these brake discs suitable for all vehicles?

No, these 280mm vented brake discs are designed for specific vehicle makes and models. You must use the compatibility checker or consult your vehicle's manual to confirm fitment.

What does 'vented' mean for brake discs?

Vented brake discs have internal air channels or vanes that allow air to flow through them, helping to dissipate heat more effectively than solid discs. This reduces the risk of brake fade during demanding use.

Can I install these myself?

Brake replacement is a critical safety procedure. While possible for experienced DIYers, it is strongly recommended to have these discs installed by a qualified mechanic to ensure safety and proper function.

How do I 'bed-in' new brake discs?

Bedding-in involves a series of moderate stops to help the new pads and discs mate correctly. Specific procedures vary, but generally involve gradual acceleration and braking cycles. Consult your mechanic or the product documentation for precise steps.

What is the part number for these discs?

The part number for this set of brake discs is 18398.

What is the brand of these brake discs?

The brand of these brake discs is Febi.

What is the diameter of these brake discs?

The diameter of these brake discs is 280mm.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

This can indicate warped discs. Ensure discs were correctly installed, properly bedded-in, and are compatible with the vehicle. If issues persist, the discs may need replacement.

Squealing or grinding noises

Could be due to worn pads, debris, or improper bedding-in. Inspect brake pads and ensure they are compatible. Clean the caliper mounting hardware. If noise continues after bedding-in, consult a mechanic.

Reduced braking performance

Check brake fluid level and condition. Inspect pads for wear. Ensure discs are not glazed or excessively worn. Verify correct disc and pad combination for your vehicle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check: Before ordering, it is crucial to verify that these 280mm vented brake discs are compatible with your specific vehicle make, model, and year. Use the provided vehicle compatibility tool or consult your vehicle's service manual. If unsure, contact customer support with your vehicle details for assistance.

Installation: Brake disc replacement should be performed by a qualified mechanic. Improper installation can lead to safety issues and damage to your vehicle. Ensure all mounting hardware is clean and correctly torqued.

Bedding-in: After installation, it is recommended to follow a proper bedding-in procedure. This typically involves a series of moderate stops from increasing speeds, allowing the brake pads and discs to mate effectively. Consult your mechanic or the Febi documentation for specific bedding-in instructions.

Care: Regularly inspect brake discs for signs of wear, such as scoring, glazing, or excessive runout. Keep the braking system clean by avoiding harsh cleaning chemicals directly on the components. Ensure brake pads are replaced simultaneously with the discs for optimal performance and longevity.
