Brakes, Testing

Brake test must be performed on a one-axle dynamometer running in opposite directions.

Moving in opposite directions means: The rollers on the brake test stand turn forward on the one side and backward on the other side.

That prevents the braking force from being transmitted to the drivetrain.

The wheel that is turning forward is measured during the test, which makes two brake tests per axle necessary.

Test speed must not exceed 6 km/h.

Test stands approved by Volkswagen meet these requirements.
