Brake Testing with an Opposite-Running One-Axle Dynamometer, AWD






Brake Testing with an Opposite-Running One-Axle Dynamometer, AWD

The testing takes place on a test stand.

During testing, manual transmission vehicles must in idle and automatic transmission vehicles must be in N.

Always observe the test stand manufacturer instructions.

The brake systems do not work when the ignition is off.

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

This prevents the brake forces from being transmitted into the powertrain.

During testing, the wheel turning forward is measured, therefore two braking test are necessary on each axle.

Do not exceed a test speed of 6 km/h.

The Volkswagen approved test stand fulfill these conditions.
