I’ve used them for brake pads, rotors, and spark plugs. I haven’t had a problem with them.
On my car, smooth and quiet, no problems.
I've never used their rotors, but I liked the Quietcast pads when I had them, I never noticed any sound from them.
Depends on which Bosch part specifically.
Bosch brake parts are fine.
I use these on my Jetta, work great. Pads don’t last as long as OEM, but ????♂️
I went with Bosch Quiet off Amazon. I just cruise around and they work fine and are quiet.
Bosch’s Quietcast brakes have never done me wrong. I’ve used them in three vehicles now and had good pad life and performance on a budget. No squeaks, decent life for ceramics.
Honestly for everyday driving the Bosch and centric is a good combo. The powerstop are very grabby and have a bit more stopping power but it’s not worth the extra money, plus long term normal rotors are better. Drilled/slotted don’t have as much durability
I replaced front pads and rotors on my Tiguan, and afterwards, when going between D <-> R and applying the brakes, the first brake application causes a "clack" on both sides at the front. Pads are Bosch 1633A. spring clips (integral to pads) are seated properly. Pads and rotors were bedded properly. Wheel lug bolts torqued properly. I have the official instructions from VW. I've probably done ~20 brake jobs in my life, mostly Volvos (over half of those were sliding-caliper designs like the Tiguan's). What I tried (with no success): searching and searching and searching forums, only found 2 other people with a similar issue on FCP's Brake Replacement YouTube video measured and compared all latereral dimensions of the pad's plate between new and old, same dimensions re-installed the pads all bolts are torqued properly (caliper carrier 200 Nm; caliper pin bolts 35 Nm) found a Tech Bulletin from VW that mentions there are inner- and outer-specific orientation for the pads. This appears to apply only to the Genuine (labeled TRW) pads, as all 3 Bosch pads are identical in every way that I can discern bought a set of Genuine VW pads (labeled VW), ensured the correct orientation of pads according to the Tech Bulletin, and they still clack. pad backing plate dimensions are the same as the Bosch. Ack! More money! bought a set of genuine caliper carriers (with the thinking that perhaps when I wire-wheeled the old caliper carriers to remove rust, it took off too much material). I didn't install them because I measured all the dimensions that interface with the pads and the new are identical to the old.
I've had a lot of warranty repairs for my 2018 Tesla model 3: both sides for front upper control arms, both side rear suspension, a gear oil motor leaked, and an inverter. Paid out-of-pocket (not warranty) for both sides front wheel bearings, front brake rotors and pads, rear brake rotors and pads, front windshield, roof glass, and now paint and rust work around the fenders and rocket panels.
