At Meta Mechanics, we recently completed a brake pads and rotors replacement on an Audi A7, and during our comprehensive inspection, we uncovered several issues that were affecting the vehicle’s braking performance. Here’s a breakdown of the problems we found and the effective solutions we implemented to ensure the vehicle’s braking system is fully restored to its optimal condition.
Issues Found During the Brake Pads & Rotors Inspection:
- Worn-Out Brake Pads:
- The brake pads were significantly worn down, reducing their ability to effectively stop the vehicle and causing an increase in stopping distance.
- Solution: We replaced the worn-out brake pads with premium, high-quality pads that ensure maximum stopping power and extend the life of the braking system.
- Warped Brake Rotors:
- The brake rotors had developed warping due to excessive heat buildup, which can lead to vibrations and uneven braking.
- Solution: We replaced the warped rotors with new, precision-engineered rotors to ensure smooth, consistent braking and eliminate any vibration felt during braking.
- Brake Pad Imbalance:
- Upon inspection, we noticed that the brake pads were wearing unevenly, which can lead to a decrease in braking efficiency and uneven rotor wear.
- Solution: We installed new, high-quality brake pads and performed a complete brake system check to ensure even pressure distribution and optimal braking performance on all four wheels.
- Excessive Brake Dust Build-Up:
- The brake components were covered in excess brake dust, which can cause additional wear on the brake pads and rotors over time.
- Solution: We thoroughly cleaned the brake system, removing all brake dust and debris to improve the overall efficiency of the braking system and prevent any unnecessary wear.
- Brake Fluid Contamination:
- The brake fluid had become contaminated with moisture, which can reduce braking effectiveness and increase the risk of brake failure.
- Solution: We flushed the old brake fluid and replaced it with fresh, high-quality brake fluid, ensuring that the braking system functions reliably and effectively.
