Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900412-01 disc brake rotor is constructed from high-quality cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat dissipation during braking. Its full cast construction ensures structural integrity under demanding driving conditions. The rotor features a vented design, which helps maintain optimal operating temperatures by allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade. A rust-resistant coating is applied to the rotor surface to protect against corrosion, extending the rotor's service life and maintaining consistent braking performance.

This rotor has a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches (24.9 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm), indicating when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking. The overall height measures 1.96 inches (49.7 mm), and the outside diameter is 11.33 inches (287.8 mm), designed to fit specific Audi and Volkswagen models. The rotor includes five mounting bolt holes with a diameter of 0.6 inches (15.3 mm) arranged on a 4.41 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Audi A3 models
• Fits Volkswagen Beetle, Bora, e-Golf, Golf, Golf SportWagen, and Jetta
• Designed for vehicles requiring a conventional, vented disc brake rotor
• Suitable for brake systems without ABS tone rings

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface quality
• Overheating and brake fade during extended use
• Uneven brake pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) before installation. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coating or contaminants prior to mounting. Verify the mounting bolt hole pattern matches the vehicle specifications (5 holes on a 112 mm bolt circle). This rotor is non-directional, allowing installation on either side of the vehicle. Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion.
