Description

Give Your Audi the Stopping Power It Deserves — With RDA Disc Rotors!
> Alright, let's talk rotors. These shiny metal discs spin right along with your Audi's wheels, and when you stomp on that brake pedal, those pads squeeze 'em tight, creating the friction that slows you down. Now, after years of spirited driving or just cruisin' the open road, these beauties can get a bit thin, warped, or grooved. When that happens, your braking performance takes a dive, and nobody wants that, especially in a classic European machine!
Is Your Audi Trying to Tell You Something?
• Feeling a bit of a shimmy or shake through the brake pedal or steering wheel when you hit the anchors?
• Hearing some squealing, grinding, or a nasty scraping noise when you slow down?
• Taking longer than usual to stop, or does the brake pedal feel a bit 'mushy'?
• Can you see obvious scratches, deep grooves, or funky discolouration on the rotor surface?
WOF Check-Up: Will It Pass?
No way, mate! If your brake rotors are looking worse for wear — thin, warped, or seriously damaged — your Audi will fail its Warrant of Fitness here in New Zealand. Good, reliable braking isn't just a suggestion; it's a critical safety must-have!
Tackle It Yourself or Call in the Pros?
Difficulty: 6/10 (A bit of a challenge, but totally doable for the keen DIYer)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per wheel end (grab a cuppa halfway!)
Tools You'll Need: A sturdy jack, trustworthy jack stands (safety first!), wheel nut wrench, a brake caliper compression tool, a good socket set, a torque wrench (super important for tightening!), brake cleaner, a wire brush, and maybe an impact wrench if those nuts are being stubborn.

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive under the bonnet, a quick check of your consumables and safety gear will make the job a breeze and keep you safe as houses. Bob always says, "A little prep saves a lot of hassle!"
• First up, safety! Grab some Safety Glasses to protect your peepers from any unexpected grit or grime. You'll thank yourself later.
• Next, for those mucky jobs, a pair of heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and chemical-free. No one wants brake dust under their fingernails!
• When you're pulling those old rotors off, you'll want some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that carbon dust and gunk from the caliper and hub assembly. Cleanliness is next to godliness, especially with brakes!
• And don't forget the Anti-Seize Caliper Grease! A little dab on the caliper slide pins ensures everything moves nice and freely, preventing future headaches.

Here at CARFIX, Bob always champions replacing brake rotors the moment they start showing signs of wear or damage.

Fitment Notes
This particular RDA Disc Brake Rotor (RDA7191) is a perfect match for a range of Audi models from the late 80s and early 90s. Think the Audi Coupe (1988-1996), Audi 80 (1991-1994), and even the Audi Cabriolet E (1993-1998). Just a friendly heads-up: always double-check your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and engine size. Even within these ranges, there can be little quirks and differences, so best to be sure!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 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.
