Brakes 38 www.aftermarketonline.net NOVEMBER 2025 Comline has issued a new technical bulletin to address a common fitment issue relating to brake discs with integrated ABS rings. These are prevalent on Citroën and Peugeot models. Comline’s brake disc range includes many applications with factory-fitted ABS rings. But technicians have reported issues with ABS sensor alignment when fitting them — usually due to corrosion. Corrosion around the ABS sensor mounting point can push the sensor out of place so, when a new disc is fitted, this closes the required ‘air gap’ between the ABS sensor and ABS ring, causing them to touch. Warning signs and symptoms include the ABS warning light appearing immediately after the brake disc is installed. To ensure a correct installation, Comline recommends avoiding damage or returns by removing the ABS sensor, cleaning any corrosion from the sensor mounting point or guide tube and, when installing the new brake disc, ensuring the correct air gap. Comline’s brake disc range comprises more than 1,350 applications. The majority of these feature an anticorrosion coating and cover 90% of European, Japanese and Korean cars and LCVs. Coated discs are rigorously tested, undergoing 240 hours of salt spray testing to demonstrate durability and coating corrosion resistance. Each disc is also checked for ‘run out’, thickness variation and dynamic balance. Visit www.comline.uk.com for details.
