- Part number 4514-74051
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware package is engineered as a complete brake service solution for the 2013 Audi A3. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for balance on vented applications, and finished to OE specifications for consistent fit and braking stability. The ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise and harshness. The included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension where worn components can create uneven wear or noise. Part number 4514-74051 is a practical choice for a full brake refresh on the Audi A3.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
- Rotor rust and surface corrosion
- Brake noise from worn pad or hardware components
- Uneven pad wear caused by fatigued hardware
- Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
- Poor pedal feel from aged brake components
Installation Notes
Before installation, confirm rotor size, pad shape, and hardware match the vehicle’s brake configuration. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and slides for wear, and follow proper torque procedures during reassembly. The coated rotor surface is ready for installation and does not require additional preparation. For best results on the 2013 Audi A3, complete a proper bed-in procedure after installation.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are inspected to verify critical dimensions and meet OE specifications, and each rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, while the hardware kit is built with OE-style attention to form, fit, and function. Part number 4514-74051 is backed by these manufacturing controls for dependable brake service.
