Product Details

Brembo’s UV Coated rotor line is developed as a direct replacement that meets or exceeds OEM specifications. The solvent-free UV coating helps protect the disc, including the braking plate surfaces, while the grey cast iron construction helps reduce noise and vibration where applicable. Intelligent marking locations identify the part number and minimum thickness for easier service checks. Pairing the rotor with matching Brembo NAO/Ceramic or Low Met brake pads helps restore braking performance after wear.

This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 083-2751 and DuraGo BR34144 for the same application. It is a rear rotor for 1998-2010 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, 1999-2003 Volkswagen Jetta, 2000-2006 Audi TT, and related rear brake applications listed below.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotor surfaces
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor wear
• Surface corrosion on exposed brake components
• Noise and vibration associated with aged rotors
• Service issues caused by rotors at or below minimum thickness

Installation Notes

Verify rotor diameter, thickness, and rear-position fitment before installation. This rotor uses a 232 mm outside diameter and 5-hole mounting pattern, so confirm the vehicle’s brake package matches the listed application. Replace brake pads at the same time to restore braking performance, and follow the specified 120 Nm torque during wheel installation. Use the included fixing screws during service where applicable.

Quality Assurance

Brembo manufactures this rotor as an OE-style replacement for select Volkswagen and Audi rear brake systems. The UV-coated finish, drilled surface, and service markings are designed to support accurate maintenance and long-term corrosion protection.
