6R0615612D Volkswagen splash shi

These are basically panels made of plastic or sometimes metal that sit behind your brake rotors and calipers. Their main job is to deflect water, road salt, and debris away from the braking components. It doesn’t actually help you stop, but it protects the parts that do. They’re designed to take a beating from everything the road throws up. Think of it like a shield for your brakes. It sits between the road and critical stuff like your rotors and calipers. Without it, everything gets covered in grime, water, and salt. It's a fairly simple part, but it's positioned right where the worst of the road mess hits. They generally have specific left and right side versions, so make sure you’re getting the right one for your car. Without a splash shield, your brake rotors and calipers are exposed to the elements constantly. That speeds up rust and corrosion, which can lead to uneven braking, squealing noises, and eventually, costly repairs. You’ll notice if one is missing or badly damaged – you might start seeing more rust on your rotors, or hear noises you didn’t before. They’re not expensive to replace, and doing so helps extend the life of your more expensive brake components. You can find a pretty good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s usually a straightforward DIY job if you’re comfortable working on your car. Perfect fit for your vehicle: Splash Shield (MPN 6R0615612D) comes with a 12-month warranty!
