Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos features rotors with a protective coating designed to resist corrosion and extend rotor life. This coating helps maintain a clean surface for consistent braking performance and reduces the risk of rust buildup, which is especially beneficial for vehicles like the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf that are driven in varied weather conditions.

Technical Specifications and Features

This Raybestos disc brake rotor is a conventional solid rotor with a smooth braking surface, optimized for vehicles requiring a 5-bolt mounting pattern. The rotor’s outside diameter measures 281.8 mm, with a nominal thickness of 11.9 mm and a discard thickness of 10.0 mm, ensuring it meets OEM standards for safe operation. The mounting bolt hole circle diameter is 112 mm, and the center hole diameter is 65 mm, providing precise fitment for compatible Audi and Volkswagen models.

Applications and Problem Solving

  • Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Audi A3, Volkswagen Golf, and other compatible models
  • Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
  • Helps eliminate squealing or grinding noises due to rotor wear
  • Prevents rust and corrosion buildup with coated surface
  • Restores proper braking performance and pedal feel

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 10.0 mm before installation. Clean the hub surface and mounting bolts to prevent misalignment. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for durability and performance. The protective coating enhances corrosion resistance, contributing to longer rotor life. Warranty details vary by distributor but typically cover defects in material and workmanship under normal use.
