Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated Product Line

This rotor is part of the Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated line, which focuses on enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The fully coated surfaces help protect against rust, extending the rotor's service life, while the high carbon content in the gray cast iron improves thermal stability and wear resistance. This combination is particularly beneficial for vehicles like the Audi A6 Quattro and Volkswagen Passat that demand consistent braking under varied driving conditions.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid 355115442 disc brake rotor is constructed from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat absorption and dissipation properties. The rotor features a vented design, allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces to reduce heat buildup during braking. Both the disc and hat areas are coated to resist rust and corrosion, which is critical for maintaining rotor integrity over time. With a full cast construction and 5 bolt holes, this rotor ensures a secure fit and reliable performance. The rotor’s dimensions, including a 269 mm outside diameter and 53.7 mm height, are tailored to fit specific Audi and Volkswagen models, ensuring compatibility and optimal braking efficiency.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Audi A6 Quattro, Volkswagen Passat, and S6
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake fade through improved heat dissipation
• Prevents rust-related rotor damage with coated surfaces
• Restores braking performance for vehicles with disc thickness below discard limits

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pagid 355115442 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is within the nominal range of 22.00 mm and above the discard thickness of 20.00 mm. Clean the hub surface before mounting to prevent uneven rotor seating. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 bolt holes to secure the rotor firmly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain balanced braking performance. Check for any signs of uneven wear or damage on the caliper and hardware during installation.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors are manufactured to meet strict quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and durability. The rust-resistant coating and high carbon content contribute to extended rotor life.
