The front disc brake system of the Volkswagen vehicle is described in this manual. The brake caliper is attached to the vertical link with two bolts, and the brake discs are ventilated with grooves to remove surface water. The brake pads are made of friction material and are installed on each side of the disc.
The manual provides detailed instructions for replacing the brake pads, including the removal and installation procedures, and the precautions to take to avoid damaging the brake system. The brake pad wear sensor is also described, and the manual emphasizes the importance of installing a new sensor when installing new brake pads.
The manual also covers the repair and maintenance of the brake caliper and brake discs, including the procedures for bleeding the brakes and “bedding in” the brake pads.
Important Safety Notes:
- Do not use compressed air to remove brake pad dust.
- Always use a vacuum brush or aqueous brake cleaner to remove brake pad dust.
- BRAKE FLUID IS POISONOUS. Do not drink it or let it touch your skin or eyes.
- Install new bolts when installing the brake caliper to avoid failure of the brake system.
