The directional finish and smooth surface are intended to support even pad contact and clean rotor service.

For Audi A3, Audi TT, Audi A1, and Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, Jetta, Polo, Golf City, Beetle Cabrio, and Clasico rear brake service, this rotor provides a fitment-specific solution based on wheel and rotor-size requirements. Wagner recommends pairing BD125642E with Wagner brake pads for balanced braking system performance.

What This Rotor Helps Address

• Rear brake pulsation caused by worn or uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion on exposed rotor areas
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor wear
• Noise or vibration related to rotor surface condition
• Service replacement for 232 mm rear rotor applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by matching the 232 mm rotor diameter, 5-stud wheel configuration, and vehicle-specific notes before installation. This rotor is listed for rear use only and should be matched to the correct model year and chassis requirements shown in the fitment data. Clean the hub mounting surface before installing the rotor to help reduce runout concerns and ensure proper seating.
