OEM Volkswagen Brake Rotors

The disc brake system in your Volkswagen car, SUV, or van seems pretty simple from your end. You press the brake pedal, and your vehicle slows down. Press hard enough and long enough, and you'll come to a full stop. However, behind the scenes there are a lot of parts working together to make the magic happen. Your brake rotors are crucial to the entire operation, since they're the titular discs in the system's name. They're located at each wheel, and they help to disperse the heat generated by the braking act.

How Brake Rotors Work

After you press your foot against the brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends brake fluid through a series of brake hoses and brake lines. That fluid depresses your brake calipers, which push the brake pads against the brake rotors. The resistance caused by this rubbing slows the rotation of your tires. Generate enough friction, and your vehicle stops completely.

How to Spot Faulty Brake Rotors

The wear-and-tear of everyday driving can cause your brake rotors to start to go bad. If the heat isn’t disposed of properly, the rotors can warp. Either way, your ability to stop when and where you want is put in jeopardy, so you'll want to replace a faulty brake rotor as quickly as you can. Signs of brake rotor trouble include:
