Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.
I did our Atlas rear brakes without a scan tool.
I have done the all the brakes on our 19 Atlas myself. Like previously stated fronts are straight forward and easy.
No, no scan tool is needed at all for the fronts. They are basically the same as any other brake job. I actually found them easier than my other vehicles
I’m on 108000kms in my 2017 GLI and it runs like the day I bought it. I do the maintenance on time when needed and it is trouble free. So far all I’ve had to do is the brakes.
Been using Bendix metal king for my cars. Yes the brake dust sucks, but the braking fade is superior.
The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.
Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.
The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
Those Bendix Brake Pads have been almost doubled in price over store bought.
