Detailed Features and Construction

This disc brake rotor is made from gray cast iron, a material known for its excellent thermal conductivity and durability under high stress. The rotor features a vented design, which helps dissipate heat more effectively during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Both the disc and hat surfaces are fully coated, providing a rust-resistant finish that extends the rotor's service life. The full cast construction ensures structural integrity, while the 7 bolt hole pattern matches the specifications for Audi A8 Quattro and S8 models. With an outside diameter of 335 mm and a height of 42.40 mm, this rotor fits precisely to maintain optimal braking performance.

Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated Product Line

The Hella Pagid - High Carbon and Fully Coated line focuses on rotors that combine high carbon content with a full coating process. This combination enhances rotor durability and heat management, reducing the likelihood of warping and corrosion. The 355115462 rotor benefits from this technology, offering consistent braking performance and extended rotor life for Audi A8 Quattro and S8 vehicles.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Audi A8 Quattro and S8
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy use
• Prevents rust and corrosion that can compromise braking efficiency
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe and effective braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the bolt hole alignment matches the 7-hole pattern specific to Audi A8 Quattro and S8 models. Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten bolts to manufacturer specifications. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance. After installation, perform a bed-in procedure to ensure proper rotor and pad contact.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors are manufactured to meet strict quality standards, ensuring reliable performance and durability. The rust-resistant coating and high carbon content contribute to extended rotor life. While specific warranty details for part number 355115462 should be confirmed with the supplier, Pagid products typically come with a limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
