Rotors fixed

[7:53 RS6]

Wow the rotors on RS6 is relly big and hevy. Ok its one thing to see them. But somting els when having them in a box
and caried them to the workshop, they are MONSTER rotors when carrying them phuu....and loking at them in your arms!

Did take some metal of my rotors on each side.
New they are 340mm mine was 335 and relly small kracks all over and big skratches. Since Nurburgring in April. They relly loked like Sh..t . But worked but not to a 100%
When out of work shop they are now like new and a bit over minimum allowens 320mm(its printed on the rotor)

Its not god to go under 320 even if it will work. But then be really carrfully to check that there is plenty whit pads left all time.
If not the pistons may be pushed over its one axel and they may bend or go of.

This is cheep,88eur for to front rotors on each side. New front
rotors cost ca: 1000eur.

Go and get a ruler and look at what 340mm actually is.
Then look at 335 mm
and, finally, 320mm.

What you mean is 34 mm, 33.5mm and 32mm.

Do this and you will 'Learn By Doing'


How long has Sweden been using SI (Metric) units? DUH????

Nordschleife, you really don't pull any punches do you? I'll admit to being amused and horrified in equal measures at the tone of your comments - I know you're not here to glad-hand folk, but all the same that's some put down...

As to brake discs, well there's been discussion before about how suitable, or not, they are for heavy use. I've actually noticed a day or two ago that I have some hairline cracks forming on the front discs again (happened previously at <10k miles), similar to this picture I took last time round, except this time I've got a nice set of concentric grooves forming as well:

Time for another trip to the dealer then.

You mean that over an Aquavit or two at the Zanzibar, you would explain the finer points of 'I am curious, Yellow'???

Tell me what you think. :hihi:

.......and I thought I was being kind!

In this case, the error in reporting the rotor dimension, might lead one to believe that the rotor is as thick as its diameter, rather a strange shape, or even more bizarely that the circumference of the rotor was being machined.

Unlike languages, numeracy is polyglott, an error in English is equally erroneous in Swedish.....

No one around here is that stupid.

End of story. Back to topic. Thank you.

Now that's one badly mauled set of discs! OK, so mine look nowhere near as bad as that, but Lincolnshire's backroads shouldn't be as punishing as a few laps of the Green Hell (actually Lincolnshire's rural road network could be called a Green Hell for different reasons...).

Last time this happened, I got them replaced under warranty. I suppose I should see if my dealer's going to repeat me the courtesy.
