• Fiat Grande Punto – 3‑door and 5‑door models.
• Opel Vauxhall – Including the Mk III, Corsa D, and related platforms.
• Other compatible vehicles include certain Vauxhall, Opel, and Fiat models that share the same front‑wheel architecture.

Design Features for Optimal Braking

The disc incorporates several design elements that enhance braking performance:

• Heat Management: The cast‑iron construction provides excellent thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate heat quickly and prevent brake fade during prolonged use.
• Weight Reduction: Despite its robust build, the disc maintains a lightweight profile that reduces unsprung mass, improving handling dynamics.
• Surface Texture: The smooth finish minimizes noise while maintaining sufficient friction for effective braking.
• Durability: High‑grade alloy composition resists cracking and wear, extending the service life of the disc under varied driving conditions.

Installation Guidelines

Installing the 0986479 C11 brake disc is straightforward for technicians familiar with front‑wheel braking systems:

1. Remove Existing Disc: Detach the caliper, unscrew the mounting bolts, and carefully lift the old disc.
2. Clean the Hub: Ensure the hub surface is free of debris and properly lubricated with brake grease where recommended.
3. Mount the New Disc: Align the bolt holes, secure with the supplied bolts, and torque to manufacturer specifications.
4. Reinstall Caliper: Position the caliper over the new disc, tighten the mounting bolts, and re‑attach the brake pads.
5. Bleed Brake System: After installation, bleed the brakes to remove any air pockets and confirm proper hydraulic pressure.

Performance Benefits

Choosing the 0986479 C11 disc offers several tangible advantages for drivers and mechanics alike:

• Consistent Stopping Power: The disc’s uniform thickness and material composition provide reliable braking across a range of speeds.
• Reduced Maintenance: Its durable construction means fewer replacements over the vehicle’s lifespan.
• Enhanced Safety: Reliable heat dissipation reduces the risk of brake fade, maintaining safety during emergency stops.
• Compatibility with OEM Standards: As a Bosch original component, it meets or exceeds the specifications set by vehicle manufacturers.
