This coating enhances the rotor’s durability while maintaining the necessary friction surface for reliable stopping power. The vented design of this rotor improves airflow, reducing heat buildup during braking to help maintain consistent performance and reduce the risk of brake fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications and Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 21.9 mm and a discard thickness of 19.0 mm, ensuring it meets safety standards for wear limits. The rotor’s vented construction allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, improving cooling efficiency. With an outside diameter of 279.9 mm and an inside diameter of 178.4 mm, it fits precisely on the specified Volkswagen models. The rotor includes 5 mounting bolt holes arranged on a 112 mm bolt circle diameter, matching factory specifications for secure installation. The smooth surface type ensures even brake pad contact, contributing to consistent braking feel and reduced noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors on Volkswagen Beetle, Bora, Caddy, Golf, and Jetta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce brake fade during extended or heavy braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents corrosion-related rotor damage with coated surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the mounting bolt hole pattern and bolt circle diameter match your vehicle’s specifications. It is recommended to replace brake pads when installing new rotors to maintain optimal braking performance. Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping. Check rotor thickness to confirm it is above the discard thickness limit of 19.0 mm before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos disc brake rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
