• Vented rotor design to improve cooling
• Nominal thickness of 0.86 inches (21.9 mm)
• Outside diameter of 10.08 inches (256 mm)
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 3.94 inch (100 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional solid rotor construction without cross-drilling or slots

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The DuraGo BR34222 rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a robust and wear-resistant braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow between the rotor faces, helping to reduce heat buildup during braking. With a nominal thickness of 0.86 inches (21.9 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.79 inches (20 mm), this rotor maintains structural integrity throughout its service life. The rotor measures 10.08 inches (256 mm) in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 3.94 inch (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. This conventional rotor does not include cross-drilled or slotted features, focusing on standard braking performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Audi A1 and TT Quattro models
• Compatible with Volkswagen Golf, Jetta, and Polo models
• Designed for vehicles requiring a 10.08 inch vented disc brake rotor
• Suitable for applications needing a 5-bolt mounting pattern with 3.94 inch bolt circle diameter

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR34222 Rotor

• Brake fade caused by excessive heat buildup
• Uneven rotor wear leading to vibration or noise
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin rotors
• Compatibility issues with OEM rotor specifications on Audi and Volkswagen models
