VAICO V10-40068 Brake Disc

The VAICO V10-40068 is a high‑performance rear brake disc designed for Volkswagen and Audi models, including the A4, Passat, and related variants. It offers superior stopping power, durability, and compatibility with a wide range of vehicles within the VW Group family.

Key Features

• Material Composition: Made from advanced cast iron alloy that balances strength and thermal conductivity for consistent braking performance under heavy use.
• Diameter & Thickness: Standard 245 mm diameter with a 10 mm thickness, providing ample surface area for heat dissipation while maintaining structural integrity.
• Full‑Disc Construction: Solid disc design eliminates the need for additional components such as pads or shims, ensuring a straightforward installation process.
• Heat Management: Optimized cooling channels and surface finish reduce brake fade during prolonged braking sessions.
• Compatibility: Fits rear axles of VW A4 (B5/B6), Passat (3B2/3B3/3B5/3B6), Audi A4, and other related models with the same mounting specifications.
• OEM Quality Assurance: Manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) standards, guaranteeing reliability and safety.

Installation Overview

The V10-40068 is engineered for a plug‑and‑play installation. Mechanics typically follow these steps:

1. Remove the existing rear brake disc and associated hardware.
2. Clean the mounting surface to ensure proper contact.
3. Align the new disc with the hub, ensuring it sits flush against the rotor.
4. Tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque settings.
5. Reinstall brake pads and perform a test drive to confirm optimal braking performance.

Performance Benefits

The V10-40068 delivers:

• Consistent Braking Force: The solid disc design provides uniform contact with brake pads, reducing uneven wear.
• Reduced Brake Fade: Enhanced heat dissipation keeps the braking system cool during aggressive driving or heavy traffic conditions.
• Longer Lifespan: High‑grade materials resist cracking and warping, extending the disc’s usable life compared to standard aftermarket options.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the disc surface for glazing or scoring before each replacement cycle.
• Use a calibrated torque wrench when securing mounting bolts to avoid over‑tightening, which can warp the disc.
• Keep the rotor clean from brake dust and debris; use a non‑abrasive cleaner compatible with cast iron.
• Check for any signs of vibration or noise during braking—these may indicate misalignment or pad wear.
