Euro+™ Brake Kit

Each kit includes two brake rotors and pad sets, wear sensors* along with a Euro+™ merchandise bundle that contains microfibre glass and screen cleaning cloths and a keyring.

*If required for the model.

Euro+™ disc brake rotors feature the very latest in braking technology and manufacturing processes and feature high carbon metallurgy which ensures increased rotor strength at elevated temperatures as well as higher wear resistance.

The range also meets strict ‘E+’ Original Equipment Fit requirements, which specifies stringent design, construction, and performance requirements and test protocols.

Complementing the Euro+™ disc rotors are Euro+™ disc brake pads, which are designed specifically to work best as a package and offer superior braking for European vehicles, while delivering low dust operation that keep rims cleaner. Their braking performance in most cases exceeds OE equivalents.

Other benefits of the pads include Bendix’s ‘Blue Titanium Stripe’ which provides the ideal rotor to pad surface combination, ensuring optimum stopping power from the outset without the need for bedding in, saving installation time. Workshops also gain efficiency by only needing to order single kit(s), rather than multiple components. Bendix’s ‘SwiftFit’ protection coating also saves time, as the rotors can be installed without precleaning.

Given the many braking options available for the listed Volkswagen models, which in many cases sees a certain brake pad variant fit different rotor types, installers are encouraged to take care when ordering.

To ensure the correct kit is selected, it’s recommended that technicians refer to the vehicle’s PR (Production) Code.

Similar to a VIN, the PR Code is also unique to each car and identifies each piece of equipment installed to the vehicle; normally the code comprises of three characters using a mix of letters and numbers.

PR Codes are written on decals at several locations on the car depending on the make and model. The first place to look though, is in the front pages of the vehicle’s service/maintenance booklet or owner’s manual.

Additionally, PR Code decals can also be found in the boot under the carpet at the spare wheel well. If in doubt, contact the manufacturer or local dealership.

Mechanics agree Euro+™ brake pads from Bendix are the superior brake pad to supply and fit in European vehicles. Bendix is a long time supplier to the world’s OE manufacturers and has lead the field of innovation for many years.

The ECE Regulation 90 specifies the design, construction, and performance requirements and test protocols for strict European regulations. ECE R90 calls for brake pads to be tested for braking capabilities, speed sensitivity, cold performance, and may only deviate from the frictional characteristics of their original equipment counterparts by no more than 15%. When you fit Euro+™ brake pads they meet ECE Regulation 90, which means you are fitting quality brake pads specifically designed for European vehicles and engineered for optimum performance, braking synergy and driving comfort.

The new Bendix Blue Titanium Stripe is another improvement in brake technology developed by the Bendix engineer. The Blue Titanium Stripe adds a new level of stopping power straight out of the box. The original Titanium Stripe eliminated the need for bedding-in Bendix brakes saving you time and money, now the new Blue Titanium Stripe goes even further, lasting longer and creating the ideal brake pad and rotor surface to give better braking performance right after fitting.

Using the Bendix Brake Wear Indicator, it’s now easy to see when to change brake pads, and your customers will appreciate the definitive evidence that replacement is necessary.

Behind every Bendix Euro+™ disc brake rotor lies OE expertise, leading technology and precision engineering so you can put your foot down with confidence.™

Bendix Euro+™ Disc Brake Rotors incorporate improved noise dampening characteristics and heat dissipation by utilising High Carbon Metallurgy. The higher carbon formulation increases rotor strength at elevated temperatures, while with the high wear resistance from this increased strength increases rotor durability, reducing the chance of warping when very hot.

Bendix disc brake rotors feature SwiftFit™ surface protection that allows the rotor to be fitted immediately without the need to clean anti-rust oil or coating from the surface. SwiftFit™ surface protection prevents corrosion of the rotor resulting in an unlimited shelf life, longer fault free service and a rust free rotor hat which is often visible behind open alloy wheels. Frequently with uncoated conventional rotors, corrosion can impact the rotor mating with the wheel hub face over time and create a vibration that will feel like a wheel imbalance.
