About this product
When brake drum performance matters, the BOSCH 0 986 477 183 delivers — built to the same dimensional and material standards as the original part it replaces. The part is built to the following specification: Fitting Position: Rear Axle, Outer brake drum diameter [mm]: 302, Rubber mm, Inner brake drum height [mm]: 63 mm, Total brake drum height [mm]: 78 mm, Number of Holes: Rubber. Each dimension is checked against the OEM reference to ensure the component seats and functions correctly first time. Compatible with VW vehicles; use the vehicle selector above to confirm exact fitment for your make, model, and engine variant. Fitment data is sourced from TecDoc, the authoritative European parts catalogue. BOSCH is a recognised supplier of automotive braking components to independent workshops and dealer networks across Europe. All parts are sourced from authorised distribution channels and carry full manufacturer traceability — you receive exactly the same component supplied to professional garages and dealer workshops. If fitment or specifications do not match your vehicle, our technical team can help identify the correct alternative — use the vehicle selector or contact us with your VIN for a guaranteed-fit recommendation. Replacing worn components on schedule preserves your vehicle's safety, reliability, and resale value — and aftermarket parts from established brands deliver OEM-equivalent performance at a fraction of the dealer price. Every part is dispatched from our UK warehouse with a 30-day money-back guarantee and free hassle-free returns.
Brake Drum buying guide
Why replace this part?
The brake drum provides the friction surface against which the brake shoes press to slow the vehicle. Scored, cracked, or excessively worn drums reduce braking effectiveness and generate heat and noise that accelerates shoe wear.
Signs you need a replacement
- Pulsating or grabbing rear brakes
- grinding or scraping noise from the rear when braking
- deep scoring visible on the drum friction surface
- drum thickness below minimum specification
- vibration from the rear under braking
When to replace
Measure drum diameter at each brake service. Replace when worn to minimum specification or when scoring depth exceeds 0.5mm. Always replace as an axle pair.
