Description

Swapping Out Your Disc Brake Rotors — With RDA
> Your Audi's disc brake rotors are a seriously important bit of kit. They take a hammering from friction and heat, especially on older models like the 100 and 200. If they're past it, your braking could be compromised, and that's not a risk worth taking.

What Clued You In?
• Brakes squealing like stuck pigs or grinding away?
• Feeling a shudder through the brake pedal?
• Taking longer to stop than you're comfortable with?
• Rotors looking scored, cracked, or covered in rust?
• Brake pads wearing unevenly?

WOF Woes?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in NZ. They've gotta be within the minimum thickness and free from major damage to pass the test. No point being gutted on WOF day.

DIY or Get a Pro?
Difficulty: 6/10
Time Needed: 2-3 hours per axle
Gear You'll Need: Jack and stands (never skip on safety!), lug wrench, socket set, wrench set, brake cleaner, torque wrench, and maybe a brake caliper tool. It's a bit dusty, eh?

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get cracking on those rotors, let's make sure you're sorted:
• Safety First, Mates!: Never, ever get under a car supported only by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth more than a cafe lunch.
• Keep it Clean: Grab a can of Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust. It's not good to breathe in, so do it in a well-ventilated space.
• Glove Up: Protect your hands with a pair of Nitrile Gloves. Brake dust and grease are minging.
• Grease is the Word: A little bit of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things moving smoothly and prevent future headaches.

Fitment Notes
Double-check that they're the right fit for your specific Audi 100 or 200 model and year. Rotor diameter and thickness are key. Some models might have different designs or need specific brake pad compounds. Make sure you know what you're dealing with!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:

• 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.
