Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring TRW
> Disc brake rotors are those metal discs doing the rounds with your wheels. They're the unsung heroes your brake pads rely on. Over time, all that stopping and heat can take its toll, leaving them thin, warped, or grooved. That spells trouble for your braking, especially on older European models like the Audi 100 and Coupe, which might see a bit more action or just feel the years.

Spotting the Warning Signs
• Feeling a wobble through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you hit the brakes?
• Hearing squeals, scrapes, or grinds when you're slowing down?
• Taking longer to pull up than usual?
• Seeing scores, grooves, or weird colours on the rotor itself?
• Brake pedal feeling a bit soft or spongy?

Will it pass WOF?
Failing a WOF because of dodgy brakes? Gutted! Severely worn rotors are a no-go. Good, reliable braking is a must for any car on New Zealand roads.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: Give yourself 1-2 hours per axle (front or rear)
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands, wheel nut wrench, brake caliper tool, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wire brush, and maybe an impact wrench if things are stuck.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you dive in, let's sort out a few must-haves. Safety first – never get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper jack stands. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that brake dust – it's nasty stuff. A can of anti-seize caliper grease keeps everything moving smoothly, and don't forget your Nitrile Gloves to keep your hands clean. Safety glasses are also a good idea to keep the brake dust out of your eyes.

Expert Recommendation
Bob at CARFIX reckons you should always sort out your brake rotors if they're looking worse for wear. The TRW DF1526S is a solid choice, known for doing the job right and lasting well, giving your Audi the stopping power it deserves. Swing by Bob's Shop for a yarn, and we'll get you sorted with exactly what you need!

Fitment Notes
This TRW rotor (DF1526S) is sweet for a bunch of classic Audis, including the Audi 100 (1977-1990), Audi Cabriolet TDI (1995-2000), and various Audi Coupe models (1981-1996). Just double-check your specific year and engine, as there can be small differences.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (Part No. GDB1044) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
