Vary rpm, don't max load, don't overheat, motor in gear when decelerating is good for the rings. generally keep rpm below 5500 for the 1st 500 miles or so but the odd move up the tach to there won't hurt anything. I change the oil somewhere before 2k miles to get the build contaminants and more significant wear particles out.
Centric high carbon blank rotors and Centric PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Great daily driver combo.
Last time I did brakes on my Tiguan I did Centric high-carbon, coated rotors and Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads that I got off of Rockauto. They have 20k miles on them now and I have zero complaints. They just do what they are supposed to, and have almost zero dust. Perfect in my book.
They sent out an email today that they are now stocking Akebono Brake pads, which are probably the best for any VW, very good quality and low dust.
On my heavier vehicles I've used Akebono ProACT pads and gotten better than OEM life out of them.
I highly recommend akebono euro brake pads, especially on DSG cars to remove the grabbiness at low speed. Great cheap upgrade for new car.
my GLI did it slightly but it went away when I switched to Centric Ceramic pads. Stock Organic pads were terrible in just about every aspect. The Centrics fixed every issue.
I went with the centric posi-quiets on my GLI. They are everything I hoped for. PS. the clips are a pain but I found a little deadblow hammer to the top of the pad and they popped right in.
After some miles on the car no dust! Approved!
I have just put posi-quiets on my PP GTI and I'm experiencing vibration while driving at highway speed (68-80 mph, worst at 75ish). Re-checked torques and the faces of hubs/wheels were clean. Will go in for a balance but is it possible I got a **** rotor or something? Possible I have a bent hub and didn't realize it until the rotors were swapped?
