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 and high carbon content in the material help reduce rust and extend rotor life, making it suitable for demanding driving conditions and maintaining consistent braking performance on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

The Pagid disc brake rotor 355122242 features a full cast gray cast iron construction that balances strength and thermal conductivity. 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 coated disc and hat surfaces provide a rust-resistant barrier, helping to maintain structural integrity and appearance over time. With an outside diameter of 294 mm and a height of 49.5 mm, this rotor is engineered to meet the precise specifications required for Mercedes-Benz 300CE, 300E, 300TE, 400E, E320, and E420 models. The 8 bolt hole configuration ensures secure mounting and compatibility with the vehicle’s hub assembly.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Upgrading corroded rotors to improve braking reliability
• Resolving noise issues related to uneven rotor surfaces
• Maintaining proper rotor thickness to ensure safe braking performance
• Addressing overheating problems with vented rotor design

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Pagid disc brake rotor 355122242, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 22.40 mm to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the 8 bolt holes to secure the rotor firmly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance and rotor longevity. Check for any signs of hub or bearing wear during installation to prevent premature rotor damage.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Pagid rotors are manufactured to meet OEM standards for fitment and performance on Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The rust-resistant coating and high carbon content contribute to extended rotor life and consistent braking. While specific warranty details may vary, Pagid products typically come with manufacturer-backed quality assurance to support reliability and customer confidence.
