Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34273 disc brake rotor is a full cast iron rotor designed specifically for Volkswagen Passat vehicles. Its vented construction enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent brake performance and reduces the risk of rotor warping. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches (25 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches (23 mm), ensuring it meets OEM specifications for safe operation. With an outside diameter of 11.34 inches (288 mm) and a 5-bolt mounting pattern, this rotor fits precisely on compatible Passat models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. This conventional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is neither cross-drilled nor slotted, making it suitable for standard braking systems.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Restoring proper brake rotor dimensions for safe stopping distances
• Upgrading to a vented rotor for improved heat dissipation in daily driving

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean mounting surface to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to optimize rotor performance
• Check for compatibility with Volkswagen Passat brake calipers and hardware
