Brake pads OEM Volkswagen or OEM Mercedes
Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.
In prepping the car for sale they spend $10,000 on \"all 100k maintenance items and known chronic problems,\" including brake pads and rotors
Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.
I did our Atlas rear brakes without a scan tool.
I have done the all the brakes on our 19 Atlas myself. Like previously stated fronts are straight forward and easy.
Took my 2019 Golf R to the track with stock pads and rotors. The brakes started smelling really bad after 20 minutes of track time, and squealing a bit. Didn’t lose braking power significantly, but this is what they look like afterwards.
The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.
I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.
MB advisor here, GLC brakes are horrible with noise.
The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
