Brakes feel really grabby, brake very well IMO
Jetta has been relatively trouble free but a few quirks here and there. Sometimes the electronics glitch and then figure themselves out. For some reason my car burns through bulbs like crazy, especially the rear lights. Rear brakes had to be replaced around 30-35k. However, the car is an absolute tank otherwise.
Big fan of engine breaking... In my 03 GLI I ended up selling her at 160,000...replaced rear brake pads once, and never the fronts... Clutch was still tight and never any problems.
stock mk4 brakes will clear
I cant say that the CC brakes are small or bad really?! As being 345mm on the front and 310mm on the rear they are stopping the car really good actually.
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.
I thought the biggest let down of the stock mk7 GTI brakes where the ****ty stock pads cooking very easily, but with a good set of pads and fluid where pretty descent.
Also, the steering wheel had a good amount of vibration when applying the brakes. Told the dealer about it, and they came back to me and told me absolutely nothing was wrong and my brakes were perfect.
Ugh, somehow these pads are even dustier than the stock pads on my STI. I didn't know that was possible.
My front pads were noisy, kept the front wheels covered in dust and suffered from crystallisation due to severe driving conditions (temperature, humidity and slopes). The noise began at 1500mi and now at 6800mi it is so loud that it can be heard from 60ft away.
