6N Polo Rear Brake Disc (232mm Solid)

This rear brake disc is a correct direct replacement for Mk3 Volkswagen Polo (6N) and Volkswagen Lupo models fitted with rear disc brakes using the listed PR codes. Manufactured to original factory dimensions, it features a solid construction, 232 mm outer diameter, and 9 mm disc thickness, ensuring safe, predictable rear braking performance.

The disc is finished with a protective anti-corrosion coating, helping to prevent rust on the hub and outer edge while maintaining a clean appearance behind the wheels—particularly beneficial on daily-driven vehicles.

What this rear brake disc does

The rear brake disc provides the friction surface that the rear brake pads clamp onto when braking. Although the front brakes handle the majority of stopping force, the rear discs are essential for vehicle balance, stability, and controlled braking, especially during light braking, cornering, and ABS operation.

How it works

As the disc rotates with the wheel, the rear caliper squeezes the brake pads against both sides of the disc. The resulting friction converts kinetic energy into heat, slowing the vehicle smoothly and evenly.

This solid rear disc design is ideal for rear axle applications where heat loads are lower than at the front. The 9 mm thickness ensures correct pad positioning and caliper operation, while the 232 mm diameter matches the factory rear braking systems used on these models.

Fitting notes & recommended additional parts

• Fitting position: Rear axle (left and right discs are identical)

• Number of holes: 4 (4-stud hub)

• Brake pads: Always replace rear brake pads when fitting new discs

• Brake discs: Supplied individually – replacing in axle pairs is strongly recommended

• Calipers & carriers: Inspect for corrosion or seizure before refitting

• Parking brake: Check correct adjustment and operation after installation

Replacing rear discs in pairs helps maintain balanced braking performance and prevents vibration or uneven wear.
