What will my brake service include when I visit Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Tucson?

This can be a more complicated question to answer. Since there are many parts to a brake system, there are different items that may be necessary for your service. Some vehicles may just need new brake pads, others may need a brake fluid flush, while some may need a resurfacing of rotors and new brake lines due to leaking brake fluid. Depending on the results of the multi-point check, your Volkswagen Golf GTI brake service may include:

• Brake Fluid Flush & Brake Fluid Replacement
• New Brake Rotors / Brake Drums Resurfaced
• New Brake Hoses/Brake Lines
• Brake Caliper Replacement
• Brake Rotor & Brake Caliper Alignment
• Brake pad Replacement
• Brake Master Cylinder Replacement

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

• Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen Golf GTI braking system together so it can function properly.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen Golf GTI rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.
• Rotors still 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 Golf GTI
• 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 extremely crucial to keep Volkswagen Golf GTI brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Volkswagen Golf GTI maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen Golf GTI 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 trigger 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 Golf GTI.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Volkswagen Golf GTI 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 Golf GTI maintenance schedule for more information on when your hoses should be replaced.

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 uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
