Yup, I was very persistent and the dealership covered the cost for new brake pads, and the labor. The rotors were in good shape. Bottom line, i paid nothing. Of course, others experiences may vary. The fact still remains, this was a Volkswagen issue, not a dealership issue, but those two entities are viewed as one, especially when i spent $90,000 with them in a year. I was authorized to spend $282,000 on company vehicles, but once the brakes started acting up, making noise, and the dealer acting like dummies, refusing to take action, I purchased 4 vehicles through a different brand for our sales team company vehicles. Too bad too, I had it all worked out as to how much I would pay for 4 Atlas's, the specs, etc. Because the dealer refused to acknowledge the issue and put it back on me, I didn't want to give them any more of my money. They ended up making it right for me, but not until I took my future business elsewhere.
We recently made this to our caddy Mk1, all home made with help from friends with some skills, total cost, honeslty I dont have any idea haha: Engine is from a 2008 R32 Drivetrain from a 2004 R32 (6-speed manual, also have The DGS setup) Haldex is manually operated so is not and will not workas on the R32, you can drive front wheel drive or 4wheel drive (pushing a button). ECU and engine harness is from an R32 so it works as it should. Front suspension, hubs, etc were upgraded to acommodate Mk3/Scirocco 16v Discs (my dad did some crazy stuff in there but it brakes awesome)
When I replaced the brakes on my 2016 Performance Package GTI, I took my local shop's recommendations on an "upgraded" pad for the fronts. The next month, I experienced so much squeaking when I applied the brakes that I went back to the shop and asked them to put stock pads back on. I've been happy every since. I would recommend stock pads from VW.
My wife's 2017 Alltrack had uneven brake pad wear on one of the front brakes. Upon inspection what had happened is one of the little rubber booties on the brake caliper wasn't correctly put on at the factory. Over time brake dust got in so it wouldn't slide and that caused it to wear unevenly.
Brakes felt great for a bone stock car. i was surprised at the amount of dust.
i had my brake pads and rotors replaced all round a month or two ago. mechanics quoted me $1000 but had it done by a family friend for around $700.
its just the pad compound VW is using because everyone get emotional about excessive brake dust..
The front brakes have suddenly started vibrating under a heavy load on my Alltrack. The dealer replaced all rotors and pads just before I bought the car. the new brakes have about 6k miles on them.
As someone who has a TTRS, the brakes blow. Heavy, overheat, poor feel, and expensive rotors/pads.
I managed to install my brake pads inside out on the rear of my MkIV Jetta. Noisy.
