Yes, your Volkswagen Taos rotors will regularly 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 Taos pads in a regular manner you can damage the other components.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Volkswagen Taos brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Rotors still 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 Taos
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen Taos braking system together so it can function perfectly.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen Taos rotors to slow or stop your car.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate 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 Taos.
  • Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's immensely critical to keep Volkswagen Taos brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Volkswagen Taos maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen Taos 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 Taos brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined invariably for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Volkswagen Taos maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.

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 likewise acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can likewise 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 likewise 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 evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Volkswagen Taos Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Rear brake components typically wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress required to slow a car. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should consult your Volkswagen Taos service manual for advised maintenance intervals for all parts. Keep in mind you should consistently have your service department perform a multipoint examination which includes inspecting your brake system.
