Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.
I've done an almost complete overhaul on my bought-from-OG-owner low-k '07 B6 3.6 wagon. DSG from an R36, completely rebuilt suspension front to back on airbags, brakes, wrap, interior, sound system (the list goes on and on) for less than the purchase price of a used-by-who R36.
Have original brakes on it at 66000 miles.
I always buy from Rockauto, but check if the part is on Amazon for comparable price for the free shipping. With brake parts especially I highly recommend buying the best you can afford. Cheap pads and rotors will be noisier and more likely to warp and give vibration when braking. The cheapest pads are also usually bonded meaning the friction material is only glued onto the backing plate, and I’ve seen them separate, especially a risk if you drive where rust is an issue. Also cheap pads don’t always include abutment clips and good shims.
I just changed my rear pads and rotors. Bought raybestos from rockauto. $80 shipped.
Like the previous comment said, akebono is their oem supplier, imo I like raybestos the best because they’re super cheap on rock auto and they produce a lot less dust if you go with ceramic pads instead of metallic
I just put on Raybestos R-line pads and rotors on a 2010 Town and Country. Those vans are notorious squealers. The trick is to use the spray version of disc brake quiet.
I don\u2019t have warping or shimmy issues but above 50ish mph when braking I get this loud whirl or hum type of thing. It\u2019s very loud it\u2019s from the rear. I never had this issue on my s3 and it\u2019s the same setup minus the pads. Not sure. I\u2019m thinking of getting golf r or s3 pads and installing them.
Got mine in November of 2021 and have had the same squealing and grinding issue. Sometimes it's a high-pitched whistle. Going to look at the ceramic brake pads that someone suggested, but its a shame that VW does not address.
Bad pads from VW don't ever use OEM pads on Arteon!
