Am I right in saying carbon ceramics last for years though?

There still expensive non carbon as there so big, the brakes are phenomenal on it Thats the point I guess 7 seater but goes and stops like a lot lighter car

I think they should last as long as the car but you need to be careful that a tyre fitter doesn't sink the wheel on the disc and chip the discs.

How do you tell the life left, thickness of the disc?

When you crash in to your house.....you need new ones.

Fuck me £10k for brake discs

That literally dosent even register in my brain lol

you have them weighed, they have a weight limit to replace them.

they are supposed to last 60-100k miles iirc, but it’s all relative to the use they get, i’d like to think a v12 q7 would probably see the lower end of the scale due to it being inherently heavy on brakes.

burnzy

my whole fleet probably doesn’t even come to that figure

they are suposed to be on another level though, I know someone who has Aston Martin ceramics on his b5 rs4 and he says when you feel like you’ve gone waaayy past the point of no return before a bend that’s when you can brake and even then you’ve braked too early

V12 6.0 TDI

resurrecting an old thread... I have an Audi Q7 6.0 V12 and have the same swirl flap issue. @scoooby slayer how did you sort it in the end?

V12 6.0 TDI

@scoooby slayer Hi again. The people I spoke to (Darkside) said the intake had to be removed for the swirl flap delete.... that's an engine out job. At that point I may as well replace the intake. Were you able to code out the swirl flap without physically removing the flaps?
