Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34193 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. The rotor measures 12.28 inches in outside diameter and features a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches, with a discard thickness of 0.91 inches, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance.

This rotor is designed with five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 100 mm bolt circle diameter, compatible with specific Audi and Volkswagen models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The overall height of 1.35 inches ensures proper fitment within the brake assembly. Note that this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is a conventional type rather than drum-in-hat.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Audi A1 models requiring a 312 mm rotor diameter
• Fits Volkswagen Golf and Jetta models with matching brake specifications
• Suitable for Volkswagen TT and TT Quattro models
• Designed for vehicles that require a vented, conventional disc brake rotor

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR34193

• Brake rotor warping due to heat buildup
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Vibration or pulsation during braking
• Corrosion-related rotor degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.91 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with vehicle ABS system as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
