Miller Volkswagen Tucson today at 5206000352 or schedule your brake service online.
Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?
Yes, your Volkswagen Arteon rotors will often last longer than your brake pads as long as you change your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Volkswagen Arteon pads in a typical manner you can damage the other components.
Volkswagen Arteon Front Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement
Wear and tear on your brakes depends considerably on your driving habits and the type of brake pads your Volkswagen Arteon has, but normally front brakes wear out before rear breaks at 30,000 - 60,000 miles because they are normally under much less stress.
Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers
The Volkswagen Arteon brake system is comprised of the following key components:
- Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby lengthening the life of your brake system.
- Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen Arteon brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
- 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 Arteon.
- 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 exceedingly vital to keep Volkswagen Arteon brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Volkswagen Arteon maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
- Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Volkswagen Arteon 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 Arteon maintenance schedule for more advice on when your hoses should be replaced.
- Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are various 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 Arteon
- Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen Arteon braking system together so it can function correctly.
- Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen Arteon rotors to slow or stop your car.
- 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 again acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can again 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 again 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. Usually, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
How often do brake rotors need to be replaced?
Usually you will need to change rotors in pairs starting with the front axle of your Volkswagen Arteon as they tend to wear out quicker. Volkswagen Arteon rotors should be replaced by 70,000 miles but may wear out faster depending on your driving habits and a host of other factors. Schedule an appointment online with Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson to get a free multipoint inspection on your complete brake system.
Volkswagen Arteon Brake Fluid
Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the components of your Volkswagen Arteon brake system. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance. Brake fluid should be changed frequently. Ask your Volkswagen Arteon maintenance manual for facts on specific mileage intervals.For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Volkswagen experts at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson. You can even schedule your appointment online.
Should I replace all 4 rotors?

Miller Volkswagen Tucson for more details by dialing 5206000352 and ask for a multipoint inspection of your entire braking system. At our Volkswagen diagnostics are free during each visit.
