Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?

Yes, your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen rotors will regularly last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Volkswagen Golf SportWagen pads in a routine manner you can damage the other parts.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen braking system together so it can function properly.
  • 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 Golf SportWagen.
  • Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several 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 SportWagen
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's extremely critical to keep Volkswagen Golf SportWagen brake pads fresh by replacing them as they undergo quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen rotors to slow or stop your car.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined constantly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen maintenance schedule for more details on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
  • 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. Generally, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Should I replace all 4 rotors?

Typically you will need to change at least 2 rotors at a time. Normally, your Volkswagen Golf SportWagen front rotors will damage faster than the rear rotors, but this depends on a variety of different factors. Ask Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood for more details by dialing 7208071645 and ask for a multipoint inspection of your entire braking system. At our Volkswagen diagnostics are free during any visit.

How much do new rotors cost?

Miller Volkswagen Lakewood we'll have one of our Volkswagen Golf SportWagen technicians examine your vehicle to give you a recommendation and estimate.
