Detailed Product Description
This Raybestos disc brake rotor, part number 96806FZN, is specifically designed for vented brake systems, which help reduce heat buildup during braking. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 0.984 inches (25.000 mm) and discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm) provide clear service limits to maintain braking efficiency and safety. Its overall height of 1.350 inches (34.300 mm) and outside diameter of 11.330 inches (287.800 mm) ensure compatibility with the braking assemblies of Audi and Volkswagen vehicles including the A1, Beetle Cabrio, Jetta, and Polo models. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 100 mm (3.937 inch) bolt circle diameter, matching the factory specifications for secure installation.
Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line
The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos incorporates a protective coating designed to resist corrosion and extend rotor life. This coating helps maintain rotor surface integrity and appearance over time, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt exposure. The 96806FZN rotor benefits from this coating, providing consistent braking performance and reducing the need for premature replacement on compatible Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
- Addressing rotor corrosion that leads to uneven braking
- Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade on vented rotor systems
- Ensuring proper fitment for Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf brake assemblies
- Maintaining braking performance on vehicles with drum-in-hat rotor configurations
Installation Notes and Tips
- Verify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below discard thickness of 0.866 inches (22.000 mm)
- Ensure mounting surfaces and bolt holes are clean and free of debris
- Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fit
- Inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement for optimal performance
- Follow vehicle-specific service manual instructions for vented rotor installation
Quality Assurance and Warranty
Raybestos manufactures the 96806FZN rotor to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. The Element3; Coated Rotor line includes corrosion-resistant coatings to enhance durability. While specific warranty details vary, Raybestos products typically come with a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Consult product documentation or manufacturer resources for exact warranty terms.
