Details on Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated Line

This rotor is part of the Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated product line, which focuses on enhanced durability and corrosion protection. The high carbon content improves thermal stability and wear resistance, while the full coating on both the disc and hat surfaces helps prevent rust and corrosion, maintaining consistent braking performance over time.

Technical Description and Features

The Pagid 355101322 disc brake rotor is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat dissipation and structural integrity. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and minimizing the risk of brake fade. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 20.00 mm ensures a solid braking surface, while the discard thickness of 18.00 mm indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safety. Both the disc and hat are coated to resist rust, which is critical for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salts. The rotor features five bolt holes and an outside diameter of 256.00 mm, matching the specifications required for select Volkswagen models.

Compatible Volkswagen Models and Applications

• Volkswagen Cabrio
• Volkswagen Golf
• Volkswagen Jetta
• Volkswagen Passat
• Volkswagen Quantum

This rotor is designed specifically for these Volkswagen models, ensuring proper fitment and reliable braking performance.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping due to heat stress
• Corrosion and rust buildup on braking surfaces
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Overheating during extended braking periods

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pagid 355101322 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 18.00 mm. Clean the hub surface before mounting to prevent runout. Use proper torque specifications on the five bolt holes to secure the rotor. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance. Check for any signs of uneven wear or damage during installation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors undergo strict quality control to meet OEM standards for fitment and performance. The rust-resistant coating and high carbon content contribute to long service life under normal operating conditions. Warranty details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
