Brake Disc Pulsation or Vibration (U.S. Only) When applying brakes at highway speeds the following symptoms may occur: Brake pedal pulsation Vibration felt in vehicle body Steering wheel shakes Technical Background For brake vibration or pulsation concerns, brake disc machining is allowed between 6 and 12 months or 6,000 and 12,000 miles (whichever comes first) from the warranty in service date. Production Solution No production change required. Service Note: All policies and procedures outlined in this technical bulletin also apply to sublet brake disc machining. Improperly machined brake discs may cause brake pulsation/vibration after several months in service. The servicing facility will be responsible for these failures.

Technical Bulletin Procedure: Remove wheels and separate brake calipers from carrier as outlined in Repair Manual Group 44 – Wheels, Tires, Vehicle Alignment and Group 46 – Brakes – Mechanical components in Elsa. Brake Disc Inspection A detailed brake disc inspection is needed to determine if the brake disc should be machined or replaced. Inspect brake disc friction surfaces on both sides of the brake disc for: Severe discoloration (bluing) High heat surface damage (raised hard spots) Visible cracks Brake discs showing any of the above described conditions are NOT serviceable. Parts must be replaced in accordance with the Volkswagen Warranty Policy and Procedure Manual. Disc Thickness Measuring Technician must record the beginning thickness measurements on the back of the repair order. Each brake disc has the minimum allowed thickness cast, stamped or laser-etched into the disc hub. Measure the brake disc thickness in 4 locations using either the Pro Cut International™ disc thickness measuring tool Part No. 50-902 or the Hunter Engineering Company disc thickness measuring tool Part No. 2599-2. Measurements MUST be taken at the same distance from the brake disc outer circumference to ensure consistency. Page 2 of 9 © 2015 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.

Technical Bulletin Note: The brake disc thickness measurement must exceed the minimum specification after the machining process is completed in order to be re-used. If the brake disc thickness measurement does not meet this requirement, then replace the brake disc. Brake Disc Machining Note: All brake discs must be machined. Recommended on-car brake lathes are either the PRO-CUT International ™ PFM 9.0, or the Hunter Engineering Company model OCL 400. This design of brake lathe will produce a surface quality which will provide proper brake performance without a brake pad to brake disc break-in period. To ensure that a high quality brake disc finish is produced, brake lathe cutting tools must be maintained as directed by the lathe or tool manufacturer. Follow the brake lathe manufacturer’s instructions for set-up and machining. Wash the brake disc with a soap and water solution upon completion of resurfacing to remove all machining particles.

Technical Bulletin Technician must record the final thickness measurements on the back of the repair order. Re-measure brake disc thickness in 4 locations using either the Pro Cut International™ disc thickness measuring tool Part No. 50-902 or the Hunter Engineering Company disc thickness measuring tool Part No. 25-99-2. If recorded brake disc measurement is less than the minimum thickness, the brake disc MUST be replaced. Note: Always replace brake discs in pairs (front axle or rear axle). Do not replace all 4 brake discs unless it is required. Measure brake disc lateral run out using Pro Cut Disc Lateral run out measuring kit Part No. 50700FC or the Hunter Disc Lateral run out measuring kit Part No. 25-128-2 with a dial indicator. Run out must not exceed 0.1mm. If brake disc exceed the 0.1mm specification replace the applicable brake discs. Page 4 of 9 © 2015 Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. All rights reserved.
