This little piece essentially protects the inner workings of your braking system. It’s a thin metal shield that goes over certain components, mainly the caliper and pads. It doesn’t actually do the stopping, but it defends against road debris – stuff like rocks, salt, and dirt – and helps keep moisture out. It also minimizes the amount of brake dust that gets all over your wheels. Think of it as armor for your brakes. It's positioned behind the caliper, so you won't see it easily when looking at the wheel. It’s not a load – bearing part, it doesn't affect how the brakes feel or their stopping power directly, but it prevents damage that could eventually cause problems with the brakes. It’s typically held in place with bolts and works in conjunction with the brake caliper and pads. It’s easy to overlook this part, and honestly, you might not notice it’s gone until something starts rubbing or squealing. But without it, those vital brake components are exposed. Salt and grime can accelerate wear and tear, and a small stone can cause significant damage if it gets wedged in there. You’ll notice if it’s missing if you start hearing unusual noises coming from your brakes or if you see corrosion building up quickly. It's a relatively inexpensive part to replace, and preventing bigger brake repairs down the line makes it worthwhile. You can often find them on sites like Fixparts Online, along with all the other brake hardware you might need. Choose Audi: Cover Plate (MPN 4H0698618) comes with a 12-month warranty!
