2H0615311B Volkswagen SHIELD

It's pretty simple, really. It basically covers the back of the brake rotor and caliper. It doesn't actually stop the brakes, it just protects those parts from road debris – stuff like rocks, salt, and grime. It's a metal plate, usually fairly thin, designed to take the hits instead of your expensive brake components. Think of it as an outer layer of defense for your brakes. It sits between everything going on outside your wheel and the actual parts that make your car stop. It’s not a structural piece, it doesn’t hold anything together, it just deflects stuff. Some vehicles have them, some don’t, depending on the design. It’s important because all that road crud can really damage your rotors and calipers over time. Rotors can get scored and warped, calipers can get gunked up, and that leads to squealing, reduced braking performance, and eventually needing to replace things sooner than you should. The shield acts like a shield, naturally. You’ll notice if yours is really beat up or missing – often it’s rusty, bent, or maybe hanging loose. If you’re doing brake work anyway, it’s a good idea to replace it. You can find replacements pretty easily, places like Fixparts Online usually have them in stock. It's a relatively inexpensive part and it can save you a lot of headache down the road. Support that lasts: Shield (MPN 2H0615311B) includes a 12-month warranty!
