This product line features vented rotors designed to improve heat dissipation during braking, which helps maintain consistent braking performance under demanding conditions. The 980471FZN rotor is a conventional, drum-in-hat style rotor, engineered to meet the specifications required by Audi and Volkswagen vehicles listed in its fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications and Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.180 inches (29.95 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.063 inches (27.00 mm), indicating the minimum thickness before replacement is necessary. The vented design enhances cooling by allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade. With an outside diameter of 13.580 inches (344.95 mm) and an overall height of 1.958 inches (49.75 mm), this rotor matches factory dimensions for proper fitment. The 9 mounting bolt holes with a 112 mm bolt circle diameter ensure secure installation on compatible Audi and Volkswagen models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors on Audi A3, S3, and Volkswagen Golf models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps restore braking performance diminished by rotor thickness below discard limits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents corrosion-related rotor damage with its protective coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves heat management to reduce brake fade during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean mounting surfaces and hub to prevent rotor runout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerform a bed-in procedure after installation to maximize braking efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos manufactures the Element3; Coated Rotor 980471FZN to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
