SHW VFR37814 Right Front Smooth Monobloc Rotor 350x34 2005-2009 VW Touareg

Vehicle Fitment

• 2005-2009 Volkswagen Touareg - 3.2L V6 - with 18-inch wheels (350mm front rotor specification)
• 2005-2009 Volkswagen Touareg - 4.2L V8 - with 18-inch wheels (350mm front rotor specification)

Fitment Notes

• 18-inch wheel specification only - the VFR37814 is for Touareg models fitted with 18" wheels, which use the larger 350mm x 34mm front rotors; Touareg models with 17" or other wheel sizes that use the smaller 330mm front rotors require a different SHW part number (see VFR37812 for the right-front 330mm variant); measure your existing rotors or confirm your factory wheel and brake package before ordering
• Right front only - the VFR37814 is the right front rotor; the matching left front rotor is SHW VFL37813; a complete front axle replacement requires one of each; verify left vs. right position before ordering
• Sold individually - one rotor per order
• OE replacement specification - replaces VW OE part number 7L8615302 (also referenced as 7L8-615-302-1); this is not an aftermarket approximation but the same manufacturer supplying the same rotor to VW and Porsche as original equipment
• Porsche Cayenne cross-fitment: the 7L8615302 OE part number is also used on first-generation Porsche Cayenne (955) models with the same 350mm rotor specification; verify your specific Cayenne's rotor diameter and OE part number before ordering for a Cayenne application

Features

• True OEM-source rotor - SHW (Schwabische Huttenwerke) is a German manufacturer that supplies brake rotors directly to vehicle OEMs as original equipment on production vehicles from Porsche, Volkswagen, BMW, and others; the SHW Performance consumer product line offers the identical rotor produced to the same specification, from the same facility, as the part installed on the vehicle at the factory; this is not an aftermarket replacement that meets OEM specification - it is the OEM part, available directly from the manufacturer who produced the original; buyers who want a true like-for-like OEM replacement without paying dealer prices have direct access to the source
• Smooth monobloc construction - the VFR37814 uses a smooth (un-drilled, un-slotted) rotor surface, which is the factory specification for the Touareg 3.2L/4.2L front brakes in this application; smooth rotors provide consistent pad-to-rotor contact area across the full friction surface, even wear, and the lowest rotor mass for a given diameter and thickness; for stock brake pad applications and normal street use, smooth rotors provide the best combination of pedal feel, rotor longevity, and noise management; the monobloc construction means the rotor is cast as a single piece (friction ring and hat as one unit) rather than a two-piece floating design
• 350mm x 34mm ventilated disc - the 350mm diameter is the large-format front rotor fitted to Touareg variants with 18" wheels; the 34mm thickness indicates a ventilated rotor with internal cooling vanes between the two friction faces; the internal vane structure creates a centrifugal pump effect as the rotor spins, drawing cooler air through the center of the rotor and exhausting heated air at the outer circumference; this internal cooling is what allows a heavy SUV's front brakes to manage the sustained heat loads of repeated braking without fade or thermal distortion
• SHW manufacturing standards - SHW operates its own foundry, machining centers, and R&D facility, controlling every step of rotor production from raw material to finished part; raw material composition, casting parameters, machining tolerances, surface finish standards, and dimensional inspection are all performed in-house to the same quality control process that satisfies OEM supply requirements; this full vertical integration is what allows SHW to meet the dimensional and metallurgical consistency that OEM supply contracts demand
• Precision machined for dimensional accuracy - brake rotor thickness variation (DTV) and runout are the primary causes of brake pedal pulsation and vibration under braking; SHW's machining process holds these dimensions to OEM tolerances, eliminating the non-uniform rotor surfaces that cause the lateral caliper piston movement responsible for pedal pulsation

Product Description

The SHW VFR37814 is the right front smooth monobloc ventilated brake rotor for the 2005-2009 Volkswagen Touareg 3.2L V6 and 4.2L V8 models equipped with 18-inch wheels - measuring 350mm in diameter and 34mm in thickness. SHW (Schwabische Huttenwerke) is a German OEM brake rotor manufacturer that supplies rotors as original equipment to Volkswagen, Porsche, BMW, and other vehicle manufacturers. The SHW Performance consumer product line makes the identical factory-specification rotor available directly to end consumers - the same part, from the same factory, that was installed on the vehicle when it was built.

The 350mm diameter specification applies specifically to Touareg variants with 18" wheels. Touareg models on smaller wheels use the 330mm front rotor (SHW VFR37812); an incorrect rotor diameter will not fit behind the brake caliper. The right front position of the VFR37814 is matched by the left front VFL37813; a complete front axle replacement requires one of each. The OE part number for this rotor is 7L8615302, which is also used on the first-generation Porsche Cayenne (955) platform in the same brake specification - given the shared underpinnings between the Touareg and Cayenne, Cayenne owners should verify their specific OE part number before ordering.

The smooth monobloc construction is the factory-correct specification for this application - un-drilled and un-slotted, optimized for consistent pad contact, even wear, and maximum rotor longevity in street use with OEM-specification brake pads. The ventilated internal vane structure provides continuous cooling airflow through the rotor body under driving conditions, maintaining stable rotor temperature through the repeated heavy braking loads characteristic of a large SUV. Sold individually; one rotor per order.
