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.
Ferodo ds2500 is a great option. I’ve heard yellows are noisy/dusty. I’ve inhaled plumes of it first hand on the track.
Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.
Stock PP1 pads are Ferodo DS2500. Actually pretty good.
Previous discs and pads were OEM and the new ones are Ferodo. As mentioned previously, the sound was there with the OEM parts as well.
From what I heard they changed the pads on the 2020 because people complained the 2019 pads were noisy.
I have 4,800 miles on a 2023 MK8 and my brake pads are sticking to the rotors.
I’m not a mechanic by any means (I do try to work on my car myself for what I can fix and know how to do) but I’m gonna throw my own car under the bus and say VW. Why tf do I need specialized tools, and why do barely any after market parts fit my car?
