Product Line Details

The Bendix Premium Copper Free Ceramic BPR line is part of Bendix Friction’s copper-free brake pad and shoe offering for North America. It is focused on OE-style replacement coverage while meeting copper-free initiative requirements, making it a practical choice for drivers who want a direct-fit front brake pad set with modern friction materials.

Detailed Description

Part number CFC768S is engineered for front brake service on select Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, including applications such as the Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, Beetle, Bora, Caddy, Clasico, Golf City, SportVan, CrossFox, Jetta City, and the Audi A3. Fitment varies by model year and brake configuration, including applications with 280mm rotors, electronic wear sensors, and OE semi-metallic pad material references. This makes CFC768S a strong match for buyers searching for front brake pads for 1998-2014 Volkswagen Jetta, front brake pads for Volkswagen Golf with electronic wear sensor, or Audi A3 front disc brake pad set OE fitment.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn or uneven front pads
• Reduced braking consistency from aged friction material
• Wear sensor-related service needs on supported Volkswagen applications
• Front-end brake vibration caused by pad wear or glazing
• OE replacement needs for copper-free brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, wear sensor style, and model-year-specific notes before installation. Several applications require a front pad set matched to 280mm rotors or a D-shaped female electronic wear sensor, so confirm the brake system on the vehicle before ordering. Clean the caliper bracket, inspect rotor condition, and apply the supplied brake lubricant where specified during service.

Quality Assurance

CFC768S is backed by Bendix Friction’s vehicle-tested approach and OE-oriented friction design. The pad formulation is 100% copper-free and the shim construction is designed to support quieter operation across the listed Volkswagen and Audi front brake applications.
