FAQs

What does ECE-R90 certification mean for these brake discs?

ECE-R90 certification signifies that the brake discs meet or exceed the performance, safety, and quality standards set by the European Economic Commission. This ensures they perform comparably to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.

Why are the brake discs supplied with an oiled surface?

The oil coating is a protective measure to prevent corrosion and damage during storage and transit. It must be thoroughly cleaned off with a suitable brake cleaner before the discs are installed on the vehicle.

Are these brake discs suitable for heavy-duty use or towing?

These are solid brake discs. While they offer reliable performance for everyday driving, for extreme heavy-duty use or towing in demanding conditions, vented brake discs might offer superior heat dissipation. Always consult your vehicle's load capacity and braking system recommendations.

How long does it typically take to bed in new brake discs?

The bedding-in process typically takes around 200-300 miles of normal driving, with a series of moderate stops. Avoid harsh braking during this period to allow the pads and discs to mate properly.

What is the difference between solid and vented brake discs?

Solid brake discs are a single, solid piece of metal. Vented brake discs have internal vanes or channels that help dissipate heat more effectively, making them generally better suited for high-performance or heavy-duty applications where heat buildup is a concern.

Can I install these brake discs myself?

While technically possible, brake system work requires specific tools, knowledge, and safety precautions. It is highly recommended to have these brake discs installed by a qualified automotive technician to ensure proper fitment and safe operation.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

This can be caused by uneven disc wear, rotor runout, or improper installation. Ensure the mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris, and that the discs are torqued correctly. If the issue persists, the discs may need replacement.

Brake noise (squealing or grinding)

New brake discs and pads require a bedding-in period. If noise persists after bedding in, check for worn brake pads, debris between the pad and disc, or potential issues with the brake caliper. Ensure the oiled coating was completely removed before installation.

Reduced braking performance

Verify that the oiled surface was thoroughly cleaned before installation. Check brake pad condition and fluid levels. Ensure there are no air bubbles in the brake lines. If performance does not improve, inspect for leaks or other hydraulic system issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures reliable and responsive braking, even in demanding situations.
  • Constructed with high-quality materials for extended durability and consistent performance.
  • Engineered for quiet and vibration-free operation, enhancing driving comfort.
  • Corrosion-resistant coating prolongs the life of the discs.
  • ECE-R90 certification guarantees adherence to strict safety standards.

Cons

  • Solid disc design may have limitations in heat dissipation compared to vented discs under extreme heavy braking.
  • Requires proper cleaning of the oiled surface before installation to ensure optimal performance.
  • Installation may require specific tools and automotive knowledge.
  • Specific vehicle fitment needs to be verified before purchase.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, it is crucial to clean the oiled surface of the brake discs thoroughly to remove any protective coating. This ensures optimal friction between the brake pads and the disc. Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, following the vehicle manufacturer's specifications and using appropriate torque settings.

Compatibility: These brake discs are designed for the rear axle of vehicles. The specific part number is 0986478514. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchasing. Cross-reference part numbers with your vehicle's service manual or a reputable parts catalog.

Care: Regular inspection of brake discs for wear, damage, or signs of corrosion is recommended. Ensure brake pads are replaced in pairs and that they are compatible with the disc type. Avoid aggressive braking immediately after installation until the new discs and pads have bedded in properly.
