Product Information

Full details

The Bosch BD1490 Brake Disc is designed for car owners seeking reliable and durable rear braking performance. Its key benefit lies in its ECE-R90 certification and robust construction, ensuring consistent stopping power. A potential caveat is that these are solid discs, which may offer less heat dissipation than vented alternatives in extreme conditions, and they are sold individually, requiring replacement in pairs.

FAQs

Are Bosch BD1490 brake discs sold individually or as a pair?

The Bosch BD1490 brake discs are sold individually. However, for balanced and safe braking, they must always be installed in pairs on the same axle.

What does ECE-R90 certification mean?

ECE-R90 certification signifies that the brake discs meet the stringent safety and performance standards set by the European Economic Commission, equivalent to original equipment (OE) parts.

Why is the brake disc surface oiled?

The oil coating protects the brake disc from corrosion during storage and transportation. It must be thoroughly cleaned with a brake cleaner before installation to ensure proper friction.

Can I use these discs on the front axle?

The Bosch BD1490 is specifically designed and listed for the rear axle of compatible vehicles. Always confirm fitment for your specific axle and vehicle.

How do I properly break in new brake discs and pads?

After installation, perform several moderate stops from around 30-40 mph without coming to a complete halt, allowing the brakes to cool between applications. Avoid hard braking for the first few hundred miles.

What is the minimum thickness for these brake discs?

The minimum thickness for the Bosch BD1490 brake disc is 10mm. It is crucial to measure the disc thickness and replace it if it is at or below this limit.

Are these discs drilled or slotted?

No, the Bosch BD1490 is a solid brake disc and is not drilled or slotted. It is designed for standard OE replacement.

Troubleshooting

Brake judder or vibration

Ensure the wheel hub is clean and free of debris. Verify the disc is correctly torqued and seated. Improper bedding-in can also cause judder; consider re-bedding the brakes following the manufacturer's procedure.

Squealing or noise during braking

Ensure new brake pads were installed with the discs and that anti-squeal shims (if applicable) are correctly fitted. Clean the caliper mounting points and check for brake pad wear or damage.

Reduced braking performance

Check for fluid leaks in the brake system. Ensure the brake pads are not worn below their minimum thickness. The oiled surface may not have been properly cleaned before installation, impacting initial performance.

Corrosion on the disc surface

Surface rust is normal on oiled discs, especially after exposure to moisture, and should be removed during the first few braking applications. Significant or deep corrosion may indicate a need for replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • ECE-R90 certified for proven safety and performance.
  • Durable construction with high-quality materials for long life.
  • Engineered for quiet and vibration-free braking.
  • Corrosion-resistant coating enhances longevity.
  • Precise fitment reduces installation complications.

Cons

  • Solid disc design may not dissipate heat as effectively as vented discs under extreme use.
  • Requires purchase in pairs for balanced braking.
  • Oiled surface needs proper cleaning before installation.
  • Specific vehicle fitment requires careful verification.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: It is crucial to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model using the provided dimensions and vehicle fitment information. The Bosch BD1490 is designed for rear axle fitment on select Opel, Chevrolet, and Vauxhall models with specific engine codes and rim sizes (16.0, 17.0 inches). Always consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic to confirm the correct part number.

Setup: These brake discs are sold individually but *must* be installed in pairs on the same axle. Always replace brake pads concurrently with brake discs. Ensure all mounting hardware is clean and correctly torqued. Work should only be performed by trained specialists.

Care: Before installation, the oiled surface must be thoroughly cleaned with a suitable brake cleaner to remove all traces of oil and protectant. This ensures optimal friction with the brake pads. After installation, follow the manufacturer's break-in procedure for new brake discs and pads to ensure proper bedding and optimal performance.
