MAPCO Brake Set – Disc Brakes (47832)

The MAPCO 47832 Brake Set is a comprehensive, high‑performance solution designed for the front axle of Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and SEAT vehicles. It delivers reliable stopping power while maintaining durability under demanding driving conditions.

Key Features

• Disc Diameter: 280 mm – a standard size that balances braking efficiency with vehicle compatibility.
• Pad Thickness: 22 mm – ensures ample contact area for consistent friction and extended service life.
• Ventilation: The discs are fully ventilated, allowing heat to dissipate quickly and reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy use.
• Material Composition: High‑quality steel core with a wear‑resistant coating that resists corrosion and maintains performance over time.
• Compatibility: Engineered for front axles on VW Golf V, Golf VI, Golf Plus, Audi A3, Skoda Octavia, Yeti, SEAT Leon, Altea, Toledo, and related models. The set includes all necessary hardware for a complete installation.

Components Included

The kit is a self‑contained package that eliminates the need to source parts separately:

1. Front Disc Brakes (2 units) – each disc measures 280 mm in diameter and features dual ventilation channels.
2. Brake Pads (4 units) – two pads per side, providing redundancy and ensuring consistent braking performance.
3. Installation Hardware – includes bolts, washers, and mounting brackets designed to fit the specified vehicle models.
4. Technical Documentation – a detailed installation guide with torque specifications and safety precautions.

Performance Highlights

The MAPCO 47832 set is engineered for:

• Consistent Stopping Power: The combination of a robust disc design and high‑friction pads delivers reliable deceleration across various driving scenarios.
• Heat Management: Ventilation channels allow heat to escape, preventing brake fade during prolonged or aggressive braking.
• Longevity: Durable materials and precise engineering extend the service life of both discs and pads, reducing maintenance frequency.
• Ease of Installation: All components are pre‑aligned for a straightforward fit, minimizing labor time and potential installation errors.

Installation Overview

Installing the MAPCO 47832 brake set involves several key steps that ensure optimal performance:

1. Remove Existing Brakes: Detach the current discs and pads, noting any hardware for reuse or replacement.
2. Prepare the Hub: Clean the hub surface to remove debris and verify it is free of damage.
3. Mount New Discs: Align each disc with the mounting brackets and secure them using the supplied bolts. Torque specifications are provided in the technical documentation.
4. Install Pads: Place the new pads into the caliper, ensuring they sit correctly against the disc surface.
5. Caliper Adjustment: Adjust the caliper to achieve proper pad clearance and ensure even contact across the disc.
6. Brake Fluid Check: Verify fluid levels and inspect for leaks before testing.

Maintenance Tips

To keep the MAPCO brake set performing at its best, follow these simple maintenance practices:

• Regular Inspection: Check pad wear every 10,000 km or during routine service intervals.
• Fluid Replacement: Replace brake fluid according to the vehicle manufacturer’s schedule to maintain hydraulic integrity.
• Clean Discs: Remove dust and debris from the disc surface using a non‑abrasive cleaner to prevent uneven wear.
• Check Caliper Operation: Ensure calipers move freely and do not stick, which could cause uneven pad wear.
