Re: Consistently Warped Rotors Driving Me Nuts

[John Cunningham <johnc@together.net>]

I have an independent mech who asserts that (on Audi's) this is caused by an
incident of braking hard to a stop, and then standing on the pedal.  His claim
is that if the rotor gets very hot, then you sit at a stop with the pads
applied, the warpage happens as the un-clamped rotor cools and the portion
under the pads does not.  His implication is that the problem is a culmination
of slightly under engineered rotors and poor driving habits.

disclaimers, etc.  don't know how much stock I place in this theory...
