Raybestos PGD340M Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Overview

Raybestos PGD340M is a rear disc brake pad set built for select Audi, Volkswagen, and Peugeot applications. It uses a metallic friction material with chamfered edges and attached shims for a controlled brake feel and consistent pad contact.

This part number, PGD340M, is listed for rear brake service on vehicles such as the Audi A4, Volkswagen Jetta, and Volkswagen Golf. It is a fitment-specific replacement, so the VIN and chassis notes in the application data should be checked before ordering.

Key Features

• Metallic friction material for rear disc brake service
• Chamfered edges for smoother pad engagement
• Pad shims included and attached
• Integrally molded friction material attachment
• Unslotted pad design with no wear sensor provision
• Raybestos PGD340M application-specific replacement

Product Details

The Raybestos Element3 Metallic line focuses on brake pad construction that balances friction characteristics with fitment-specific coverage. PGD340M is a rear disc brake pad set with a metallic compound, 0.220-inch pad thickness, and 3.430-inch pad width for both inner and outer pads. The pad shims are staked and attached, while the friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate for a stable interface. This part number, PGD340M, cross-references Bosch BP340 and Wagner Brake ZX340 for the same application.

Compatible With select Audi A4, Audi A4 Quattro, Audi S4, Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Corrado, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen Quantum, Volkswagen Scirocco, and Peugeot 307 / 405 rear brake applications listed in the fitment data.

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake pad wear requiring replacement
• Reduced pad-to-rotor contact consistency
• Brake noise related to missing or worn shims
• Uneven pad engagement from worn chamfers
• Fitment-specific rear brake service needs

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and VIN notes before installation, especially on Audi A4 and Volkswagen Beetle applications with chassis or VIN breakpoints. This pad set is for rear position use only and does not include a wear sensor or mounting hardware. Confirm rotor condition and pad dimensions during brake service to ensure proper fit and operation.

Quality Assurance
