FERODO Disc 8671018107

Ferodo Disc 8671018107

The Ferodo Disc 8671018107 is a high‑performance brake disc designed for rear wheels of modern passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Manufactured by Ferodo, a leading name in automotive braking systems, this disc delivers reliable stopping power, durability, and consistent performance under a wide range of driving conditions.

Key Features

• Material Composition: High‑strength steel alloy with an advanced heat‑treatment process to resist warping and maintain structural integrity during prolonged braking.
• Diameter & Thickness: 270 mm diameter, 10 mm thickness – a standard size that balances weight and braking efficiency for many European models.
• Surface Finish: Smooth, machined surface with a slight texture to promote optimal pad contact and reduce noise.
• Weight: Approximately 2.5 kg per disc – lightweight enough to minimize unsprung mass while still providing robust braking performance.
• Compatibility: Designed for rear wheels of a wide range of vehicles, including but not limited to the Renault Scenic II (JM0/1), Grand Scenic II, and Megane II Kombi. The disc is also suitable for other models that accept a 270 mm rear brake disc.
• Installation: Standard mounting with four bolts; includes pre‑drilled holes to match common wheel hub designs.
• Heat Dissipation: Optimized internal geometry and material selection allow efficient heat transfer, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy use.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Remove the wheel and existing brake components.
2. Clean the Hub: Use a degreaser to remove any rust or debris from the hub surface.
3. Position the Disc: Align the disc with the mounting holes on the hub. Verify that the disc sits flush against the rotor surface.
4. Bolt Securement: Insert the four bolts through the pre‑drilled holes and tighten to the manufacturer’s torque specification (typically 80–100 Nm).
5. Reinstall Brake Pads: Fit new or existing brake pads onto the caliper, ensuring proper alignment.
6. Caliper Reassembly: Mount the caliper over the disc and secure it with the appropriate bolts. Tighten to specification (usually 60–80 Nm).
7. Wheel Installation: Place the wheel back onto the hub, torque the lug nuts in a star pattern to the specified value.
8. Brake Fluid Check: Verify brake fluid levels and inspect for leaks.
9. Test Drive: Perform a low‑speed test drive to confirm proper braking function before resuming normal driving conditions.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the disc surface regularly for signs of wear, scoring, or glazing. Replace if damage exceeds manufacturer guidelines.
• Keep the disc clean from brake dust and contaminants; use a brake cleaner to remove buildup.
• Check bolt torque periodically (every 10,000 km) to ensure secure mounting.
• Monitor pad wear indicators; replace pads before they become too thin.
• Avoid excessive heat exposure by ensuring proper ventilation and avoiding prolonged hard braking without breaks.

Performance Highlights

The Ferodo Disc 8671018107 excels in delivering consistent stopping power even under demanding conditions. Its high‑strength steel construction resists deformation, while the engineered heat dissipation properties prevent brake fade during extended use. Drivers can expect:

• Reduced Brake Fade: Maintains performance during heavy braking sessions.
• Quiet Operation: Smooth surface finish minimizes noise and vibration.
• Longevity: Durable material composition extends service life, reducing replacement frequency.

Compatibility Overview

The disc is tailored for rear wheel applications in vehicles that require a 270 mm rotor. Commonly matched models include:

• Renault Scenic II (JM0/1) – 2003‑2009
• Grand Scenic II – 2003‑2009
• Megane II Kombi – 2003‑2009
• Other European cars with similar rear wheel dimensions and mounting configurations.

When selecting a replacement, always verify the vehicle’s service manual for exact rotor size and mounting specifications to ensure proper fitment.
