Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Volkswagen Golf GTI brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Rotors again called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Volkswagen Golf GTI
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen Golf GTI brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Volkswagen Golf GTI brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined repeatedly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Volkswagen Golf GTI maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen Golf GTI rotors to slow or stop your car.
- Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely vital to keep Volkswagen Golf GTI brake pads fresh by replacing them as they undergo quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Volkswagen Golf GTI maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen Golf GTI braking system together so it can function accurately.
- Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Volkswagen Golf GTI.
- Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which still acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can still cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate still protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.
Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
Volkswagen Golf GTI Brake Fluid
Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the parts of your Volkswagen Golf GTI brake system. Brake fluid should be changed usually. Confer your Volkswagen Golf GTI maintenance manual for advice on specific mileage intervals. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance.You can even schedule your appointment online. For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Volkswagen experts at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale.
Should I replace all 4 rotors?
Typically you will need to change at least 2 rotors at a time. Usually, your Volkswagen Golf GTI front rotors will damage faster than the rear rotors, but this depends on an assortment of different factors. Ask Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale for more details by dialing 6234007146 and ask for a multipoint inspection of your whole braking system. At our Volkswagen diagnostics are free during any visit.
Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?
Yes, your Volkswagen Golf GTI rotors will usually last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Volkswagen Golf GTI pads in a typical manner you can damage the other components.
