RE: Warped Rotors



I am DEAD serious...............I tried all the "Audie's remedies" (find
them in bulletins) and nothing worked.........
Used that method 3 times (front)and 1 time (rear) with Audi and once with
VW, they are all working very well............no warping......
You must remember that this method will work only with ORGANIC pads (repco
asbestos), not with METALLIC pads (I think, never tried it...)
