I got the rear brakes done on my passat yesterday. They did a good job, and I'm pleased with my brakes.
I could give you the part number but you need the caliper tool to wind the piston back . Part number is 1H0698451F . I know its Golf 3 part number but I prefer these to the Golf 4 units . Also just re-use the bolts the strength is overdone for its purpose . I also prefer golf 3 pollen filters as oppossed to Golf 4 ones
I have a 2001 GLX 4 Motion with 50K, and so far haven't had any major repairs, replaced a switch in the dash and the front and rear brake pads.
the brakes are pretty damn awesome for a stock car too.
yeah my ABS light is always on in my jetta ..... the brakes work great but sometimes (very rarely) i can feel the brake pedal trying to move back up when i press it very softly coming to a very slow stop
This is why I'm switching to Stoptechs up front!
As for Wilwoods - they are good but require more maintance due to the lack of a dust boot/seals on the pistons - unless they've changed that now. I had StopTech's on my TT and they were excellent. Of course i'd use Porterfield RS4 pads rather than the stock Axxis that comes with them, but I was very impressed with the fit and finish as well as overall power and modulation of the StopTechs.
Thank goodness the brakes are superbly balanced -- else I'd be burping the ABS system too.
At low speeds, ASW uses the ABS sensors and brakes the spinning wheels, which will affect the life of the front brake pads (at least, that's how I understand it).
About 10,000 miles ago, I would have been more positive. But now I'm at 40,000 miles now, and I'm ready to dump my '99 GLX at the next problem. - 25,000: rear brakes (my $) - 30,000: front brakes (my $)
