Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Volkswagen ID4 brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Rotors again 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 ID4
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen ID4 brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your vehicle to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • 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 ID4.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen ID4 braking system together so it can function accurately.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Volkswagen ID4 brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Volkswagen ID4 maintenance schedule for more data on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • 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 vital to keep Volkswagen ID4 brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Volkswagen ID4 maintenance schedule for the recommended mileage intervals.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen ID4 rotors to slow or stop your vehicle.

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 also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also 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 also 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. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Volkswagen ID4 Brake Fluid

Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the parts of your Volkswagen ID4 brake system. Fresh brake fluid is something few people think about, even though it can seriously affect braking performance. Brake fluid should be changed regularly. Confer your Volkswagen ID4 maintenance manual for information on precise mileage intervals.For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Volkswagen experts at Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood. You can even schedule your appointment online.

How long do Volkswagen ID4 brake rotors last?

This depends massively on the type of rotors, your driving style, and the type of vehicle you're driving. Volkswagen ID4 rotors need to be replaced every 30,000 - 80,000 miles depending on the factors above. Confer with your Volkswagen maintenance manual for more information.
