Why replacing rotors is necessary
on European vehicles

Why is Replacing Brake Rotors with new pads on your European vehicle is necessary? This is because old rotors can have uneven wear, grooves, or be too thin after a full brake pad life, which degrades new pad performance. It is standard practice for German cars like Porsche, VW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMWs to recommend replacing pads and rotors together as a matching set. This is to ensure optimal braking and prevent issues like noise or shuddering. 

Brake RotorsThe Reasons Why
Replacing Brake Rotors
is Necessary

  • Uneven surface: After a brake pad’s lifespan, the rotor’s surface is no longer flat. New pads require a smooth surface to “bed in” properly.
  • Grooves and scoring: Worn pads can create deep grooves on the rotor surface, which will prematurely wear down new pads, cause noise, and reduce braking performance.
  • Minimum thickness: Rotors have a minimum thickness specification. If they’ve been worn down below this point, they are unsafe and must be replaced.
  • Warping: A vibrating or pulsing brake pedal often indicates that the rotor is warped, which is a condition that cannot be fixed with new pads alone.
  • German car specific recommendations: German manufacturers like Audi often recommend replacing rotors with every pad service to ensure consistent, high-performance braking.
  • Corrosion: Over time, rotors can develop rust or corrosion, especially on the edges. While resurfacing can remove some surface rust, it can be cheaper and more effective to replace them, particularly if there is significant corrosion. 

Replacing Rotors

What to do?

  • Inspect: Meister Werks qualified service technicians will measure your rotors and pads to ensure they are above the minimum thickness. Furthermore, we check for signs of warping, deep grooves, or excessive rust.
  • Replace: If the rotors have  wear, grooves, warps, or too thin, they need replacement. After 100% worn pads, the rotors typically need replacement. However, we will let you know the pad and rotor thickness. As a result, it’s highly likely that your vehicle will need new pads and rotors. This is so they operate with proper function and safety.
  • Resurfacing is Not a Option: Resurfacing is an option for some vehicles. However, replacing is necessary on all modern European vehicles. This is because resurfacing removes too much material, making them thinner than the worn rotor.  Resurfacing seams like it could be cheaper. However, the additional labor time it takes to resurface. This additional labor costs the same as New Brake Rotors.

ACC Alignment? Do you need it? Checking Your European Car’s Safety Systems

 

Your modern European car is smart, however it may need a ACC Alignment. It may have Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These features keep you safe and make driving easier. Key systems include Lane Departure, Dynamic Cruise Control, and Adaptive Cruise Control ACC Alignment.

But this technology relies on perfect sensor alignment. If the sensors are off, your safety features will not work right. We can check and fix this for you.

Audi ACC

 

How to Know if Your Car Has These Features

 

These systems use special cameras and radar. Here is how to check your European car:

1. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) / Dynamic Cruise ControlAdaptive ACC Alignments

  • Look for a Radar Sensor: Check your car’s front grille or lower bumper. You might see a flat, plastic square or a dark plate. This is often where the radar unit is hidden.
  • Check the Steering Wheel: Look at your cruise control buttons. Standard cruise control only has a speed setting. ACC has extra buttons. You will see an icon showing two cars with adjustable distance bars between them.
  • Test it Out: On the highway, set the cruise control. If your car automatically slows down behind a car and speeds up when the lane is clear, you have ACC.

2. Lane Departure Warning / Lane Keeping AssistLane Departure ACC Alignments

  • Look for a Windshield Camera: Look at the top center of your windshield. It is usually behind the rearview mirror. You will see a small camera lens inside a plastic housing. This camera tracks the lane lines.
  • Check for a Control Button: Look for a button on your dashboard or steering wheel. It often has a picture of a car veering toward lane lines.
  • Watch the Dashboard: If your car has the feature, a small icon of lane lines will light up when the system is active.

Signs Your Safety Systems Need ACC Alignment Service

 

Even a small bump can knock these sensors out of position. A perfect ACC Alignment is key for these high-tech parts. If you notice any of these signs, your car likely needs this alignment service.

  • Warning Lights are On: Your dashboard shows an error message. It might say “ACC Unavailable” or “Lane Assist Inoperative.” The car is telling you something is wrong.
  • Unexpected Braking: Your Adaptive Cruise Control acts strangely. It might brake hard for no reason. It may not slow down fast enough for the car ahead.
  • Wrong Lane Alerts: Your Lane Departure system alerts you when you are clearly in your lane. Or, it fails to warn you when you actually drift out.
  • Recent Repair Work: Any time your front bumper, grille, or windshield is replaced, the sensors have been moved. Also, a wheel alignment or suspension repair can change the car’s angle. This change affects sensor aim.

The True Cost of Cheap: Why Quality European Auto Repair Matters

 

We are often asked to address The True Cost of Cheap & ‘Why do we need to replace additional parts’, when repairing our customers European cars. The answer is, due to European vehicles intricate engineering, these vehicles demand specialized care. At Meister Werks, we understand that quick and cheap fixes often lead to long-term headaches. While attempting to save money upfront, the “band-aid” approach to European auto repair can ultimately cost you more and waste your time. More over, it always makes it more difficult, time consuming, and in the end, more costly by not replacing associated parts during a repair. For example, if your car has 80,000 miles and a part breaks, the associated parts that are not broken still have 80,000 miles on them. Consequently, it is highly likely that those parts will fail when installing a brand new part.


The Pitfalls of the True Cost of Cheap aka “Just the Necessary Part”

The allure of a low-cost repair is understandable. However, focusing solely on one failed part ignores the interconnected nature of your vehicle’s systems. When a component fails, it often indicates underlying issues or accelerated wear in related parts.

For example, replacing a worn-out water pump on your European car, without addressing the aging thermostat or radiator hoses, that might seem efficient. However, the new pump places increased stress on these older, weaker components, leading to their premature failure. For example, belts, tensioner assemblies, and idler pulleys. Due to the True Cost of Cheap, you’re back in the shop, facing another repair bill and downtime.

Furthermore, cheap, aftermarket parts often lack the quality and precision of genuine or original equipment supplier (OES) parts. This can result in poor fitment, reduced performance, and a shorter lifespan, ultimately requiring replacement sooner than expected.

The Meister Werks Approach: Comprehensive and Correct

At Meister Werks, we believe in doing the job right the first time. This means:

  • Thorough Diagnostics: We don’t just fix the symptom; we identify the root cause. OBDII output tests and guided diagnostics on our factory scan tools will allow us to identify check engine lights and/or poorly running engines.
  • Genuine or OES Parts: We use only the highest-quality parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications and will never void any warranties.
  • Comprehensive Repairs: We address all related components that show signs of wear or potential failure. For example, when replacing a drive belt, we highly suggest replacing the idler and tensioner assemblies while performing this service. About 90% of the time, a new belt will cause pulleys to squeak and fail days or weeks after the replacement.
  • Preventative Maintenance: We advise on preventative measures to avoid future issues. Another example, when replacing spark plugs, we highly suggest replacing the ignition coil packs at the same time.

The True Cost of Cheap

True Cost of Cheap – Why Replacing Related Parts is Essential

Consider a suspension repair. Replacing a worn control arm without addressing the tie rod ends or ball joints is a short-sighted approach. The new control arm will place stress on these aging components, which are likely experiencing similar wear. This leads to premature failure, alignment issues, and compromised handling.

By replacing all related parts simultaneously, we ensure:

  • System Harmony: All components work together optimally, extending their lifespan. (Belts, Idlers, and Tensioners)
  • Improved Performance: Your car handles and performs as intended. (Shocks, Shock Mounts, & Stabilizers links)
  • Long-Term Savings: You avoid repeat repairs and costly breakdowns.
  • Peace of Mind: You know your vehicle is safe and reliable.

 

Investing in Quality, Not Quick Fixes

European cars deserve meticulous care. At Meister Werks, we prioritize quality, precision, and long-term reliability. We understand that a well-maintained vehicle is an investment in your safety, comfort, and driving enjoyment.

In conclusion, don’t let a “cheap” repair become an expensive mistake. Trust Meister Werks to provide the expert care your European car deserves. We do it right, so you can drive with confidence.

BMW Battery Replacement Information

Replacing a BMW battery is not as straightforward as you may think. Modern BMWs, equipped with sophisticated electronic systems. These require specific  coding to ensure functionality and prevent issues. Below is a comprehensive guide for BMW owners.

 

 

Why Battery Replacement in a BMW is Unique

Firstly, a modern BMWs utilizes a battery management systems (BMS). This monitor and regulates the battery performance. Another key point, this requires the vehicle be coded to a new battery. Furthermore, simply swapping the battery without coding can lead to several problems.

The information from BMW’s ISTA factory scan tool lists the following information for your BMW Battery replacement.

  • Please observe without fail the following information on correct battery replacement! . Using ISTA Document “RA_61_20”, notes on battery replacement.
  • For further information, we find the master document in the battery modules. All BMW platforms are a little different, so it does take time to find all of the information in your BMW.
  • Ensure correct electrical system function. It is essential we install the original battery stored in the vehicle.
  • On vehicles with IBS (Intelligent Battery Sensor) the battery must be registered via the diagnosis system. This will reprogram the vehicle electrical system. Often the IBS has been superseded by a new version of the IBS and needs to be replaced. Some vehilces require one or two different pigtail adapters to allow the IBS to function better.
  • Standard batteries can always be replaced with AGM batteries. Although, they must match the same specification. In this procedure, you must register the vehicle and code the battery. We read out the battery size and registration in the vehicle electrical system. Using BMW’s ISTA scan tool, we use the Service functions. Then enter the Body module and Power supply. After that, we register a battery replacement. Finally, we veify the settings have been entered and saved.

The Importance of BMW Battery Coding:

  • Battery Registration. Coding a BMW battery tells the BMS that a new battery has been installed. This allows the system to adjust charging parameters and optimize battery lifespan.
  • Preventing Overcharging. Without coding, the BMS may continue to use charging parameters suitable for the old, degraded battery, potentially overcharging the new battery. Overcharging can lead to premature battery failure and damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.
  • Optimizing Battery Performance. The BMS adapts its charging strategy based on the battery’s age and condition. Coding helps a new battery charge optimally, maximizing its performance and lifespan.
  • Error Codes and System Malfunctions. Failure to code the battery can trigger error codes and system malfunctions, potentially leading to warning lights and reduced functionality of certain vehicle systems.

Selecting the Correct BMW Battery:

  • Battery Type and Specifications: Specific battery types are a requirement for BMWs. Typically a AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) battery. To emphasize, these can handle the high electrical demands of modern vehicles. The wrong battery type will lead to poor performance and premature failure.
  • Capacity and Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): The battery’s capacity (Ah) and CCA rating must match or exceed the specifications. To demonstrate, use a battery with a insufficient capacity or CCA can lead to starting problems and reduced electrical system performance.
  • Proper Fitment: The battery must physically fit within the vehicle’s battery compartment. This is because an improperly sized battery can lead to installation issues and potential damage.

The Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) and Ground Cable

Next, most BMWs equipped with an intelligent battery sensor (IBS) integrated into the negative battery cable. The IBS monitors various battery parameters, including voltage, current, and temperature, and transmits this data to the BMS.

  • IBS Function. The IBS is crucial for accurate battery management and charging. This helps the BMS to regulate charging and prolong battery life.
  • IBS Failure. Next, a IBS can fail due to various factors. This includes corrosion, electrical damage, and wear and tear. For example, a faulty IBS can lead to incorrect charging and battery failure.
  • Ground Cable Failure. The ground cable houses a IBS. This can also fail due to corrosion, damage, or loose connections. A faulty ground cable can lead to electrical issues, as well as starting problems.
  • Signs of IBS/Ground Cable Failure. Common signs of a failing IBS or ground cable include battery warning lights, starting problems, electrical system malfunctions, Inaccurate battery readings, and / or Increased battery drain

Professional Installations

BMW battery coding requires specialized diagnostic equipment and software. These are available our facility. Diagnosing IBS or ground cable issues requires expertise in BMW electrical systems. As shown above, using an authorized BMW service center, such as Meister Werks, can help maintain your vehicle’s warranty.

In Conclusion

In short, replacing a BMW battery is a complex procedure that requires careful attention to detail. Even more, Coding the battery is essential for proper battery management and optimal performance. Lastly, selecting the correct battery type and specifications is crucial for reliability. At the same time, Understanding the IBS and ground cable is vital for diagnosing and resolving electrical issues.

Why you should replace the Spark Plugs on your Porsche at the Factory Service Interval 

At some 80,000-mile service intervals some Porsche may need the spark plugs replaced. Spark plugs and ignition coils are crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance and longevity. Here is some comprehensive information on why you need to perform this service.

Porsche Spark PlugsWhat Happens to Your Spark Plugs Over Time:

  • Plug Wear.
    Firstly, over time, these will experience wear and tear. The electrodes erode, the gap widens, and their ability to ignite the fuel-air mixture diminishes. This leads to:

    • Misfires.
      Secondly, incomplete combustion causes misfires, resulting in rough idling. As a result, this will decrease your engine power, and potential engine damage.
    • Reduced Fuel Efficiency.
      Thirdly, misfires and incomplete combustion decrease fuel efficiency. For example this will increasing fuel consumption.
    • Increased Emissions.
      Fourthly, worn spark plugs can contribute to increased emissions, harming the environment.
  • Ignition Coil Degradation.
    Ignition coils provide the high voltage necessary to ignite the spark plugs. Over time, they can deteriorate due to heat, vibration, and electrical stress. Additionally, this can lead to weak or intermittent sparks, resulting in misfires and similar issues as worn spark plugs.

By replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils at the recommended service intervals:

  • Restore Engine Performance.
    Ensure smooth, efficient, and powerful engine operation.
  • Improve Fuel Economy.
    Enhance fuel efficiency and save money on gas.
  • Reduce Emissions.
    Minimize harmful emissions and contribute to a cleaner environment.
