Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — Featuring TRW
> Your Audi's disc brake rotors are key to stopping safely. They take a hammering from friction and heat, especially if you're giving it a boot in an Audi Quattro 20V Turbo. Over time, this means less braking power and potential trouble.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Brakes making a racket? Squealing or grinding noises are a dead giveaway.
• Feeling a judder in the brake pedal?
• Rotors looking worse for wear? Scratches, rust, or any visible damage?
• Taking longer to pull up than usual?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy disc brake rotors are a quick way to fail a WOF here in NZ. Your rotors need to be above the minimum thickness and in good nick to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wheel chocks.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those rotors, let's make sure you're sorted with the right gear and know-how. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or rust in your eyes, mate. Safety Glasses are a no-brainer.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those hands clean and protected from brake fluid and grime. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Grab some Nitrile Gloves.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty brake dust and gunk. Makes the job cleaner and easier. A can of Brake Cleaner is your best mate here.
• Caliper Grease: A good quality anti-seize caliper grease will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent those annoying squeaks. Definitely worth having in your kit.
And remember, never, ever get under a car that's only supported by a jack! Use proper jack stands – your life's worth it.

🛠️ 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. GDB404) 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.
