PSCB and rust on them?

[Miikka]

Newbie in forum and looking to buy Taycan Turbo. In the beginning I wanted to have Turbo S, but possible cost of renewing ceramic rotors did low my “wishes” to own one

Now I have pretty slick Turbo on sight, but when the dealer changed the tires I did notice some extensive rust on the brake disc. Is this normal for these PSCB to rust like that?

Also, I know Porsche recommends to do brake maintenance after 6 years (car is 2020), does that mean the pads or discs too?

And lastly, what is the “life expectancy” of those discs? I read somewhere that they should last 1.5 times more than normal steel discs.

Thanks for the advices already in advance

Every 6 years should be pads only.

The steel bits rusting is normal for cars parked outside. The disc looks fine, albeit more used than mine, also a 2020.

That’s not the disc mate, that’s the carrier. As said it steel and will get rusty, not that you’d see ordinarily as it’s covered by the wheel. All looks pretty normal to me (Turbo owner with same setup)

Regarding ceramics, usage is up to 100k, so unless you purchase a car in that mileage range, buy with confidence

All looks normal. Get the car!

Thanks everyone for answers, nothing to worry then

and yeah, ”discs” was direct translation from Finnish, now I learned the proper one

Can you post the build ideally a window sticker.
Looks like a great find.
