Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34236 is a conventional, vented disc brake rotor made from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and heat management. Its full cast construction ensures structural integrity, while the vented design helps dissipate heat generated during braking to reduce the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 1.18 inches and a discard thickness of 1.06 inches, this rotor meets precise specifications to maintain optimal braking performance and safety. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes with a 4.41-inch bolt circle diameter, designed to fit Volkswagen Passat vehicles accurately. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Resolving noise issues related to uneven rotor surfaces
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during extended use
• Ensuring proper fitment for Volkswagen Passat brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and calipers for wear or damage during rotor replacement
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to optimize braking performance

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo disc brake rotors are manufactured to meet industry standards for durability and performance. While this product does not include a rust-resistant coating, the cast iron construction provides reliable service life when properly maintained. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
