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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
