- NINatalie InkwellSep 6, 20255.0I called this store to ask if they had G12 Engine Coolant for my 2011 Audi S5. The nice lady on the phone informed me that while they didn't have it themselves, I can buy that exact coolant from the local VW Dealership. No hesitation, no excuses. I will absolutely rely on this store in the future for advice, whether they have the parts or not. Five Stars.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
