Your Audi RS2‘s braking system is one of the most important components for ensuring safety, performance, and control on the road. Over time, the brake pads and rotors can wear down due to regular use, heat, and friction. When this happens, it can compromise your car’s ability to stop effectively, potentially putting you and others at risk.
At Meta Mechanics, we recently completed a brake pads and rotors replacement for an Audi RS2 in Dubai. Our expert technicians identified several issues with the braking system and provided effective solutions to restore the vehicle’s safety and performance.
Issue Found:
- Worn-out Brake Pads
- Problem: Over time, brake pads wear down as they press against the rotors to slow down the vehicle. If the pads become too thin, they lose their ability to stop the car effectively, resulting in longer stopping distances and increased brake fade.
- Solution: During our inspection of the Audi RS2, we found that the brake pads were heavily worn, with the friction material reduced to dangerous levels. We replaced the worn brake pads with OEM-equivalent high-performance pads that meet the exact specifications for the Audi RS2. This ensures optimal braking power and safety.
- Warped or Scored Brake Rotors
- Problem: Brake rotors can become warped or scored due to prolonged use, overheating, or improper braking techniques. Warped rotors can cause vibrations or pulsations when you apply the brakes, making it difficult to stop the vehicle smoothly.
- Solution: In this Audi RS2, the brake rotors had developed scoring and warping, which was affecting the car’s braking performance. We replaced the damaged rotors with new OEM-equivalent rotors, which provided a smooth, vibration-free braking experience. Our technicians also performed a proper break-in procedure to ensure the new rotors perform at their best.
- Brake Pad Glazing
- Problem: When brake pads overheat, they can become glazed, meaning a smooth, shiny surface forms on the pad. This reduces friction, making it harder for the brake pads to effectively grip the rotors, leading to reduced braking power.
- Solution: We inspected the brake pads and found signs of glazing, which was affecting their performance. We replaced the glazed pads with fresh high-quality brake pads, designed to restore proper friction and ensure smooth, responsive braking.
- Uneven Brake Wear
- Problem: Uneven wear on brake pads or rotors can occur when the braking system is not properly aligned, or if there is a problem with the caliper, suspension, or brake fluid. This can lead to a noticeable pull to one side when braking or an uneven braking response.
- Solution: After assessing the Audi RS2’s braking system, we identified that uneven wear on the pads was due to an issue with the brake caliper and alignment. We resolved this by properly aligning the components and replacing the uneven brake pads and rotors. We also ensured that the calipers were in good condition, which helped achieve uniform wear on the new pads and rotors.
- Corroded or Rusted Rotors
- Problem: Brake rotors are exposed to moisture, road salts, and environmental conditions, which can lead to rust or corrosion over time. Corroded rotors can lead to poor braking performance, increased wear on brake pads, and noisy braking.
- Solution: Upon inspection, we noticed that the Audi RS2’s rotors had significant rust and corrosion buildup, which was affecting braking performance. We replaced the rusted rotors with new, high-quality rotors to ensure smooth and effective braking, preventing further corrosion and improving the vehicle’s overall braking performance.
