I used Redstuff on my MKV. Low dust, good bite, no noise except sometimes in the cold using light application. I drive mostly suburban traffic. Pads didn't eat the rotors. They are a ceramic pad (unless EBC changed the formulation recently) so not to be used for track days.
Have them on my Tiguan with Zimmerman rotors, not a peep so far, excellent grip too.
Just for follow up.. I brought the car to the dealership this morning. They were able to replicate the issue and it is the brake booster.
I use these pads. They only make noise when its really cold out. After I drive/brake for a few minutes the noise goes away. I use these pads because I have white wheels. I get roughly an extra week and a half before my wheels look really bad. That alone was worth it to me. Rotors still look fine as well. Hope this helps.
I'm running 5w30 total quartz ineo mc3 502 505.01 in my '14 1.8tsi and my wife's '16 GSW 1.8tsi mqb. Great oil as the results speak for themselves.
Tires seem to be wearing fine. The ride is a lot like the A3 I replaced (18\" wheels on a Golf platform). I expect similar wear as my Audi.
I have driven my GTI S at night and never once thought to myself that I wished I had paid more money for a Sport GTI so I could have the Xenons. Nor have I once thought I need my headlights to turn for me as I turn a corner. I see just fine when cornering at night with my halogens.
Ecs tuning 2piece rotors and hawk hp plus pads. Minimal dust, great stopping, and no rust.
I had a spare, new Bosch fuel filter, so I went ahead and swapped that in just in case the other new filter had issues.
Had the first water pump replaced 02/13. The coolant warning light went on this week so I made an appointment with my dealer. 25k and on the 2nd replacement water pump.
