Brake pads OEM Volkswagen or Duralast
2016 fiesta st. Duralast Gold (DG886) PADS
powerstop is good but honestly i always suggest duralast golds they're good and the warranty is good
I did my own brakes, sorta with and without the special tool. My conclusion is that the tool is not strictly needed.
I just traded in my 2019 Jetta with 65000 miles, never changed the brakes, but looked at them at 60000. It looks like they were at thick as new, insane. Would stop on a dime.
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.
They currently have sales on their duralast branded ones and even hand bundle sales. Duralast won’t be the best, but guarantee it’s better than those sawdust with grey spray can paint pads.
My rear breaks also wore out faster. I just had them replaced (1 month outside the extended warranty lmao kms) at 27k km.
I'm convinced the MK6 just has shitty brakes (I mean they do stop but I think they're just bad). I've had 2 of them and they both wear unevenly, hang up, or just in general wear out too quickly.
Avoid duralast cause their pads don’t have good bite or good overall braking power. And sometimes they don’t fit.
If you have white, the break dust will color your car.
