OEM Audi Discs, Rotors & Hardware

When it comes to stopping in your Audi vehicle, you know to use your factory brakes. For you, it's a simple act. You press the sole of your foot against the brake pedal, and your car or SUV slows. Press the pedal long and hard enough and you'll come to a complete stop. The mechanics at work, however, are a bit more involved.

How Brake Rotors Work

Your brake rotors are the circular discs that connect to the wheels. When you apply that pressure to the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder responds by sending hydraulic brake fluid to the brake calipers. The pressure of that fluid forces the calipers to compress the brake pads onto the brake rotors. That creates the friction, or resistance, that slows your vehicle down.

How to Spot Brake Rotor Problems

Eventually that friction, and the heat it generates, can do harm to your brake rotors. Check yours if you experience signs like these:

• Your brake pedal vibrates when you press on it
• You hear grinding noises
• It takes more time and distance to come to a complete stop

Genuine Audi Brake Rotors are Your Best Choice

Don't let failing brake rotors go without replacing them, especially if the brake pedal is vibrating. That's a sign that the rotor has warped. If that's the case, your brake pads can't maintain consistent pressure on warped rotors – which puts your safety at risk. Don't trust generic aftermarket rotors to do the job right, either. Only authentic Audi brake rotors are guaranteed to be compatible with your Audi model, so you can trust them above all others.
