FAQs
What does ECE-R90 certification mean for this brake disc?
ECE-R90 certification means the brake disc has been rigorously tested and meets or exceeds the performance and safety standards set by European regulations for original equipment replacement parts.
Why is the brake disc oiled?
The oil coating is applied to protect the brake disc from corrosion and rust during shipping and storage. It must be completely removed with a brake cleaner before installation.
What is the benefit of a vented brake disc?
Vented brake discs have internal vanes that help to dissipate heat more effectively than solid discs. This reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains consistent braking performance, especially under heavy use.
How do I know if this brake disc fits my car?
You need to check the vehicle's specifications against the disc's dimensions (diameter 262mm, thickness 21mm, 4 bolt holes) and the provided compatibility information, including construction year ranges and engine codes. Consulting a professional mechanic is the most reliable method.
What is the minimum thickness for this brake disc?
The minimum thickness specified for this brake disc is 19 mm.
Can I install these brake discs myself?
While some DIYers may attempt brake jobs, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended due to the safety-critical nature of braking systems. Incorrect installation can lead to serious issues.
What is the 'Braking System' specification?
The specification 'Braking System: for vehicles with disc brakes on the rear axle' indicates that this front axle brake disc is designed for vehicles that also have disc brakes on their rear axle.
Troubleshooting
Brake judder or vibration
This can be caused by uneven disc wear, warped rotors, or improper installation. Ensure the hub is clean, the disc is correctly torqued, and consider having the system inspected by a professional.
Noisy brakes (squealing or grinding)
New pads may require a bedding-in period. If noise persists, check for debris, worn brake pads, or potential issues with the caliper or mounting hardware. Ensure the oiled surface was properly cleaned before installation.
Reduced braking effectiveness
Check brake fluid level and condition, inspect brake pads for wear, and ensure there are no air bubbles in the brake lines. Verify that the correct disc and pad combination is being used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility Verification: Before installation, it is crucial to verify that this Bosch brake disc (MPN: 0986479R80) is compatible with your specific vehicle model, year, and engine type. Consult your vehicle's manual or a professional mechanic.
Installation: Due to the critical nature of braking systems, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is strongly recommended. This ensures proper fitment, torque specifications, and safety. The disc comes with an oiled surface to prevent corrosion during storage; this oil *must* be thoroughly cleaned off with a suitable brake cleaner before installation.
Care: Regularly inspect brake discs for signs of wear, damage, or warping. Avoid aggressive braking immediately after installation to allow the pads and discs to bed in properly. Periodic cleaning of the braking system components can help maintain performance. The corrosion-resistant coating provides protection, but regular maintenance is still advised.
