Disc Brake Rotor Replacement Guide — Featuring RDA
> Your Audi A4's disc brake rotors are dead important, aye? Over time, they wear down from the brake pads doing their job. This means your braking might feel a bit average, you might get some shudders, and things could get hairy, especially if you give it a bit of stick like we all do sometimes.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding noises when braking.
• Vibration or pulsation felt in the brake pedal.
• Increased stopping distance.
• Visible scoring, cracks, or rust on the rotor surface.
• Brake pad wear is uneven.
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. They gotta be thick enough and not too munted to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1.5 - 2 hours per axle

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, a few quick words from yours truly. Safety first, always! Never get under a car supported only by a jack – use proper jack stands. Grab some Brake Cleaner to blast away all that nasty brake dust; it's not good to breathe in. A can of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly, too. Pop on some Safety Glasses and Nitrile Gloves to keep your eyes safe and your hands clean.
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors are no good, mate. Get them sorted to keep your Audi stopping like it should. RDA's are a good choice, but we've got other options at CARFIX to suit your wallet. Swing by Bob's Shop and we'll get you sorted with the right parts for your A4.
Fitment Notes
Double-check these rotors fit your exact Audi A4 model and year. Some models have different sizes. Measure twice, cut once, as they say!

• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
