Brake pads TRW or OEM KIA
I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.
Pros: regular maintenance, drives fine
Vehicle:
Kia Rio
Mileage: 115000 km
I use to buy trw ATEC, after use found out its leave alot of break dust. After doing some research, I found out the TREW ATEC made for metalic that why it have alot of dust. I change to TRW DTEC which made form ceramic it not dusty and more silent.
Pros: more silent, not dusty
Cons: alot of break dust

Pros: no dust
Vehicle:

Am placute și discuri trw de vreo 4 ani și aproape 100.000 km. Nu au scârțâit niciodată și la cum conduc eu sunt sigur că mai țin încă pe atât.
Pros: Nu au scârțâit niciodată
Mileage: 100000 km
"TRW LUCAS MCB54" organics are great. I am currently riding the "EBC FA29V Semi Sintered" but the bite point isn't as good as the TRW.
Pros: organics are great
Cons: bite point isn't good
Part number: MCB54
remember there are 5-7 different brake pad manufacture's that VW uses and slaps their logo on it. Buying from dealer or third party with a VW logo on it doesn't mean they are exactly perfect. its a shame that VW charges those prices and still have this issue, yet you could buy jane plane TRW/ATE pads and be fine.
Pros: TRW/ATE pads are fine
Cons: VW branded pads not perfect
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
TRW Ceramic Pads: Good for city driving, almost not dust, would not recommend for any track
Pros: Good for city driving, almost not dust
Cons: not recommend for track
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
TRW a kezdetektől 4/1 sípol, sosem lehet tudni.
Cons: sípolás
