A:BEST ANSWERHi Tyler, I'm glad to assist you. It is the 5-lug rear brake disc/s for the selected vehicle application. We apologize for the generic image of the rear discs with many lug bolt holes. For us to check carefully and be accurate on the part you need, please provide the complete details of your vehicle (year, make, model, submodel, 2WD/4WD, and engine size).

Some Maintenance Tips to Help Your Volkswagen Passat Brake Disc Last Longer

It's a well-known knowledge that the brake disc is one of the most important brake system components that keeps your Volkswagen Passat safe. You don't have to be a professional to figure out that keeping your Volkswagen Passat brake disc properly maintained is essential to keep the entire braking system functioning well. Here are some of the most effective maintenance tips to help you keep your Volkswagen Passat brake disc working properly:

  • Carry out occasional inspections to make sure that it's in good shape.

By now, you may already be aware that the brake disc of your vehicle is terribly at risk of sustaining premature damage due to the taxing role that it has to perform, as well as its position on your car. From getting overused to being corroded, there are many things that can go wrong with your brake disc. That's all the more reason for you to inspect it regularly.

Take a good look at its surface and search for grooves, warps, heat spots, and corroded areas. All these problems aren't that hard to spot because they're very visible on the disc's surface. All you need to do is to examine the disc thoroughly in order to evaluate the affected areas.

  • Keep the brake disc clean and free from corrosion.

It doesn't take a lot for your Volkswagen Passat brake disc to become wet. It doesn't matter if you just drove over a puddle or you took your car out for a ride on a stormy weather, a small amount of moisture sitting on the brake disc for a long time is enough to make it oxidize. Make sure to sand off the rusty areas using a 1000-grit sandpaper until you get rid of all signs of corrosion. You should also spray it with a brake cleaner to keep it free from dirt, grime, and debris.

  • Pay attention to the other parts of the brake system as well.

To ensure proper performance and lengthened service life of the brake disc, it's vital to take care of the brake system as a whole. This means that you also need to perform the proper upkeep procedures on the other parts of the system. It's not enough to take care of just the disc; you should also pay attention to the caliper, pad lining, and brake fluid level.

Your Volkswagen Passat brake disc is not an indestructible automotive component. You should expect it to reach the end of its service life after a few years of use, no matter how much effort you exerted into preserving it in tiptop shape. The good thing is that a brake disc doesn't just malfunction without any reason. It usually gives warning signs before it entirely breaks down.

Since you can't entirely prevent it from getting damaged, the best thing you can do is to spot possible complications before they affect the safety and performance of your car. Here are a few of the symptoms you should watch out for:

Loud rasping noises

If loud rasping noises have become something you regularly hear every single time you step on the brake pedal, don't wait for the entire brake system to fail before you start inspecting it. Check up on the condition of your brake disc right away! There are many possible causes behind this symptom, it could be excessive brake pad wear that's making the disc come into contact with the metal pad supports or it may be a crack on the disc surface. Whatever the source of the problem is, keep in mind that it's something you shouldn't ignore. Inspect the brake disc scrupulously to figure out the extent of the damage. If you see that its thickness is still above the minimum allowable measure, take it to a mechanic to get it turned. If not, you should just get a new one as a replacement.

Persistent shuddering

Just like grinding noises, there are also many possible culprits behind the persistent shudders or vibrations that you're feeling every time you slow your car down. Whether it'd be due to excessive wear or incorrect fitting, it's important that you identify the root cause immediately in order to find out the best way to solve the problem. Keep in mind that even the slightest irregularity on the surface of your Volkswagen Passat brake disc may cause the entire system to produce vibrations. The first thing you should do is to inspect the brake disc for signs of scoring, warping, or breakage. If you find any one of this over its surface, get it repaired as soon as possible.
