I've got 160k kms on my front brake pads on my 2012 tdi.
Rear pads I've changed 3 times.
It's got exceptional engine braking.
I love all the things that set it apart from the standard GTI - suspension changes, VAQ improvements, power and brakes.
Fék csere nem nagyon kell, pedig ez más EVhez képest használja is.
well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors
I bought the Mazda a while ago and hated it. I improved my skills and bought it again last night. It was a fucking blast. Have to be careful with the brakes and backend sliding but it is a straights rocket and has decent cornering without any assists.
235 km/h on the german autobahn, from one border to the other, no issue! Except for the numerous heavy breaking... Going from over 200 to less than 100 several times in a row and you start loosing confidence in the brakes.
Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.
Jeg kører også Mazda, deres bremser holder ikke super længe. Da jeg skulle have skiftet skiver og klodser foran gav de et tilbud på 14.000 og forklarede den høje pris med at de jo bruger originale dele. Rimelig skørt når de originale dele ikke holder.
Same on my wife's '22 Atlas. So much so that I think it activates the parking sensors on every occasion when we slowly come to a stop, like in a red light and nothing is around the vehicle to make the parking sensors activate. It's just at 37k miles but I'm considering upgrading the pads and rotors!
I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.
