Buy Rear Brake Pads (5K0 698 451 E) for Volkswagen – Genuine VW Parts in Stock

Restore your vehicle’s factory-standard stopping power and safety with Genuine Volkswagen Rear Brake Pads (Part Number: 5K0 698 451 E). These pads are precision-engineered to provide the perfect balance of friction, durability, and quiet operation for your Volkswagen’s braking system.

Product Overview

Brake pads are safety-critical components that must perform reliably under all road conditions. The 5K0 698 451 E is a genuine Volkswagen Group component, designed to meet the rigorous standards required for vehicle handling, ABS performance, and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

Unlike budget aftermarket pads, which can cause excessive brake dust, premature disc wear, or high-pitched squealing, these genuine pads feature the correct material compound and anti-vibration technology to ensure your car stops smoothly and silently. Using authentic components is the best way to maintain the high engineering standards of your Volkswagen.

Compatibility & Fitment

This pad set is compatible with a wide variety of popular Volkswagen Group vehicles, particularly those built on the classic PQ35/PQ46 platforms.

• Primary Applications: Fits various models, including Golf (Mk5/Mk6), Scirocco, and other VAG vehicles sharing this braking configuration.

• OEM Part Number: 5K0 698 451 E.

• Importance of Correct Fitment: Braking systems can vary based on engine size, trim level, and chassis specifications. Please provide your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) during checkout. We will verify that this part number is the perfect match for your specific vehicle configuration.

How They Work

Your rear brake pads work by creating controlled friction against the rear brake discs (rotors). This friction converts the kinetic energy of the car into heat, allowing for safe and predictable deceleration.

Common Reasons for Replacement:

• Wear Limit Reached: Once the pad friction material drops below 3mm, efficiency decreases significantly.

• Metallic Grinding: Indicates the pad material is fully gone and the backing plate is scoring the disc.

• Uneven Wear: Often a sign of sticking caliper pins or degraded rear axle components.

• Squeal/Squeak: Caused by poor pad material or damaged anti-rattle shims.

Performance & Safety Benefits

• Factory-Specified Friction: Engineered for consistent performance across high-speed motorway braking and stop-start city traffic.

• Perfect Integration: Designed to seat correctly in your existing calipers, preventing “binding” or uneven wear.

• Long-Term Reliability: Formulated to withstand high heat without “glazing” (becoming smooth and hard), which can severely increase stopping distances.

• Quiet Operation: Includes the factory-specified backing plates and shims to prevent unwanted noise during light braking.

Build Quality & Engineering

• Authentic Compound: Formulated by Volkswagen engineering teams to ensure optimal interaction with the disc surface.

• Corrosion Resistance: The backing plates are treated to withstand the harsh, wet, and salty conditions common on UK roads.

• Rigorous Testing: Tested to endure thousands of braking events to ensure maximum safety and consistency.

Installation & Maintenance

• Complete Axle Set: This part number refers to a complete set for the rear axle (both the left and right wheels).

• The “Disc & Pad” Rule: If your current brake discs are worn, grooved, or have a significant “lip” at the edge, we strongly recommend replacing them alongside your pads to ensure proper contact and safety.

• Professional Fitting: We recommend professional installation, particularly to ensure the caliper sliding pins are cleaned and lubricated, which is essential for even pad wear.
