This guide is for Audi A5 and A6 C7 owners seeking to enhance their vehicle's braking performance. The Bosch 0986479753 set provides a durable and ECE-R90 compliant solution for the front axle, featuring a coated, high-carbon surface for improved stopping power and longevity. A potential caveat is the need to verify exact vehicle fitment using the provided tools or by contacting the seller, as compatibility can vary.

While these discs are designed for enhanced performance and durability, they are primarily intended for road use. For dedicated track applications, specialized high-performance or racing brake discs might be more appropriate.
The coating protects the non-friction surfaces of the disc from corrosion and rust, improving its aesthetic appeal and preventing premature deterioration. It also helps in a cleaner installation and can reduce initial bedding-in time.
You can use the vehicle make and model fitment tool provided on the product page. Alternatively, contact the seller with your vehicle's registration number or VIN to confirm compatibility.
Yes, it is strongly recommended to replace brake pads whenever you replace brake discs. Worn pads may not bed in correctly with new discs, compromising braking performance and potentially damaging the new discs.
ECE-R90 is a European standard that certifies that replacement brake discs meet or exceed the performance of original equipment (OE) parts in terms of safety, performance, and durability.
The minimum thickness for these Bosch brake discs is 28mm. It is crucial to measure the discs and replace them if they are at or below this limit.
The lifespan of the coating depends on driving conditions and environmental exposure. While it provides significant protection against rust, the coated areas are not friction surfaces and will not wear down like the braking track.
This can be caused by uneven disc wear, improper installation, or warped discs. Ensure the mounting surfaces are clean and that the discs were torqued correctly during installation. Bedding-in may also be required.
Some noise can be normal, especially during the bedding-in period. However, persistent noise may indicate worn pads, a lack of lubrication on the caliper pins, or uneven rotor surface. Check brake pads and consider lubricating caliper components.
Check the brake fluid level and condition. Ensure brake pads have sufficient material. Inspect the discs for excessive wear, glazing, or damage. Air in the brake lines can also cause this; bleeding the system may be necessary.
Surface rust is normal on coated discs, especially after exposure to moisture, and will typically be removed during normal braking. Excessive, flaking rust or rust in the pad contact area might indicate a defect or improper care.
Setup & Installation: These brake discs are designed as direct replacements for the front axle. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic to ensure proper seating and torque specifications are met. Always replace brake pads simultaneously with brake discs for optimal performance and safety.
Compatibility: This part is confirmed for specific Audi A5 and A6 C7 models. Before purchasing, use the vehicle make and model tool provided by the seller to verify exact fitment for your car. Cross-reference part numbers with Brembo, Apec, or Ferodo if necessary. For any doubts, contact the seller with your vehicle's VIN or registration details.
Care: Once installed, follow a proper bedding-in procedure as recommended by Bosch or your mechanic. Avoid heavy braking for the first 100-200 miles. Keep the discs clean from debris and corrosive substances. Regular inspection of brake pad thickness and disc surface condition is advised.
