Once the mintex pads had sufficiently cleaned the rotors, the pulsing was gone. Granted, they are much dustier, but I'll take that over the constant pulsing.
MINTEX Pads All Around
Stock pads have always been like that. My MKIV was like that as well especially in the rear. So I changed them with Mintex pads.
I as well just replaced the oem brakes after almost 7 years. Other than a warrantied sensor, I've not had any issues. Still a blast to drive after 7 years, it still feels new.
For brakes I run Scirocco 10.1 fronts with Mintex red pads, MK3 200mm rear drums- i used to have to be careful when I ran 195/50/15's because of accidental lock, but it's much improved with the 205/50/15's (Toyo R1R's- best tire i've had).
mine tended to do that after i put in the mintex pads. i figure its just the metal content of the pad.
I have the DBA 4000s and really like them--but I have the Mintex pads and in the cold, they squeel horribly. But, low dust and decent performance.
You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
Not to sound mean, but Mintex redbox are terrible pads.
Mintex Red Box pads are crap - the company changed hands a few years ago and quality has sucked since with some folks experiencing large chunks of pad material just falling away.
