Performance Highlights

The VAICO V10-40085 disc is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern driving. Its high thermal conductivity ensures rapid heat dissipation, preventing brake fade during prolonged use such as hill climbs or spirited driving. The precise machining tolerance guarantees a flat, even surface that maximizes pad contact, resulting in consistent braking performance and reduced wear on brake pads.

Design Features

• Optimized Rim Geometry: The disc’s rim is designed to balance strength and weight, reducing rotational inertia for quicker response.
• Ventilation Slots: Integrated slots enhance airflow, further cooling the braking surface.
• Corrosion‑Resistant Coating: A durable finish protects against rust and environmental degradation, extending the disc’s usable life.
• Compatibility with Dual‑Piston Calipers: The disc’s dimensions and mounting points are fully compatible with dual‑piston caliper systems commonly found on Audi A6 rear brakes.

Installation Guide

Installing the VAICO V10-40085 disc is straightforward for technicians familiar with rear brake assemblies. The process involves:

1. Remove the existing disc and caliper.
2. Clean the hub surface to ensure a smooth mating interface.
3. Position the new disc onto the hub, aligning the mounting holes.
4. Screw in the four bolts to secure the disc, tightening to manufacturer torque specifications.
5. Reinstall the caliper and adjust pad clearance as needed.
6. Perform a brake fluid bleed to eliminate air from the system.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the disc surface for glazing or uneven wear.
• Check pad thickness and replace pads before they reach the minimum recommended thickness.
• Keep the disc free from oil, grease, and brake fluid contamination to maintain optimal friction.
• Use a calibrated torque wrench when reinstalling bolts to avoid over‑ or under‑tightening.
