What It Is Used For

• Correcting fitment after corrosion has weakened the original shield
• Maintaining proper shielding from road debris and splash exposure

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s brake configuration and OE reference before ordering. Fitment is listed for 2000-2001 Audi A6, 2000-2001 Audi A6 Quattro, 2001-2005 Audi Allroad Quattro, and 2003 Volkswagen Passat, all in the front left position. Compare the removed shield’s shape and mounting points to the Vaico V10-5478 part number and OE number 8D0615311G to verify application match.

Because brake dust shields sit close to the rotor and hub area, inspect surrounding brake components for corrosion, bent edges, or contact marks during replacement.
