Product Details

This front brake service kit is engineered for Audi A1 owners who need a complete brake replacement with matched components. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The pads are formulated for stable friction performance, while the coated rotors arrive dry and ready to install, helping reduce prep time during brake service. If you are searching for a front brake kit for 2011-2018 Audi A1, front, or a DFC brake kit for Audi A1 front axle service, 4512-74104 provides the core parts needed for a full front brake job.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Addresses

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or stressed hardware
• Rotor rust and surface corrosion on exposed brake components
• Reduced stopping consistency from worn friction material
• Vibration or harshness during braking

Installation Notes

Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before installation. Clean the hub surface thoroughly, verify rotor seating, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications. The rotor coating is designed to be swept away by the brake pads during normal use, so no additional rotor preparation is required before installation.

Quality Assurance

DFC brake pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent friction behavior, and the rotors are 100% inspected after machining to confirm OE-level critical dimensions and balance. Each DFC GEOSPEC coated rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
