Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.
Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.
Ultima oara am schimbat doar placutele cu textar semi-metalice. Iarasi super miltumit. Nu simt nici o diferenta fata de Otto-Zimmerman.
I got genuine discs from ML performance for much much less than dealer prices, coupled with textar pads made to the same spec as M4 pads (M4 pads are also a drop in upgrade, I believe textar is OE for M4 pads), noticed minimal difference in performance though.
Make certain your kiddo has GOOD brakes and tires.
Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.
I have had the Tiguan SEL Turbo for a few weeks now. I was reversing out of a parking spot and the brakes locked up thinking something was behind me. Not a soft brake, I thought I backed up into someone. No car or person there? Did it twice and never again.
Well, I just put Textar pads on and am looking to swap them because they\u2019re super dusty and squeal with light pressure, so I too would love some recommendations.
I recently replaced some on a 981 with Textar and don’t recommend it. So much dust and some noise at low speed braking.
OEM VW brakes are crap.
