Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — TRW to the Rescue!
> Disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit for stopping your Audi A6 or Allroad. Over time, they wear down from the pads rubbing on them. This means dodgy braking and maybe even a safety issue, especially if you're giving it heaps on the open road.
Spotting the Warning Signs
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you hit the brakes.
• Feeling a wobble or pulsing through the brake pedal.
• Taking way longer to pull up than usual.
• Seeing scoring, rust, or general nastiness on the rotor.
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake rotors are a dead cert for failing a WOF here in NZ. They have to be a certain thickness and not too buggered to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (optional).
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you dive into swapping out those rotors, let's make sure you're sorted. Safety first, always! Grab yourself some Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean from brake dust, and definitely slap on some Safety Glasses – you don't want any crud flicking into your eyes when you're wrestling with those brakes. Now, braking generates heat and dust. Using a Brake Cleaner spray will blast all of that carbon dust away. Lastly, a small dab of Anti-Seize Caliper Grease on the right spots will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent future headaches. Remember, never get under a car supported only by a jack! Use proper 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.
