Product Details

This ATE coated rotor is built for rear brake service where OE-style fit, finish, and dimensional accuracy matter. The coated surface helps reduce rust on exposed areas, while the solid rotor construction and non-directional finish support dependable braking performance during routine maintenance. SP12169 is a practical replacement for drivers servicing rear brakes on the Volkswagen Tiguan, Audi Q3, Audi A3, and related platforms.

This part cross-references Bosch 53011406 and Brembo 08.A202.1X for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rear brake pulsation caused by worn or uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion on the rotor hat and non-friction areas
• Brake noise related to rotor wear or surface irregularity
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor thickness loss
• Service replacement needs on OE-spec rear brake systems

Installation Notes

Verify rotor diameter, thickness, bolt pattern, and rear-position fitment before installation. Confirm vehicle application by year, make, and model, especially on Volkswagen Tiguan, Volkswagen CC, Audi A3, and Audi Q3 rear brake systems. Clean the hub mounting surface and inspect pads, caliper hardware, and bearings during brake service to help ensure even rotor contact and proper braking feel.

Quality Assurance

ATE brake parts are backed by Continental Automotive Systems’ OE brake engineering experience and are produced to a higher standard than conventional aftermarket replacements. SP12169 reflects that approach with coated rotor construction, OE-focused dimensions, and premium material selection for rear brake service.
