Product Details

PGD687M is a Raybestos metallic brake pad set engineered for front axle use on select Audi TT and Volkswagen models. The metallic friction compound is paired with chamfered edges and included shims to support consistent pad-to-rotor contact and controlled brake feel. This part number is listed for vehicles originally equipped with semi-metallic OE pad material, and several applications note a 288 mm or 312 mm rotor diameter along with no electronic pad wear sensor.

Raybestos PGD687M cross-references Akebono EURO EUR687 and PowerStop 16-687 for the same application. This part number is also associated with front brake service on Volkswagen Jetta, Golf, and Beetle models, as well as Audi TT and TT Quattro front brake applications.

Installation Notes

Confirm rotor diameter, VIN breakpoints, and whether the vehicle uses an electronic pad wear sensor before ordering. This front brake pad set is specified without a wear sensor and without mounting hardware, so reuse or source any required service components separately. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and brake fluid condition during installation, and follow the vehicle service manual for bedding procedures.

Quality Assurance

Raybestos brake components are cataloged for OE-style service applications and application-specific fitment. PGD687M is listed with defined pad dimensions, shim inclusion, and vehicle-specific notes to support accurate brake pad replacement on compatible Volkswagen and Audi front brake systems.
