Bled brakes and clutch with ATE super blue
Reviews of ATE parts For Business
Germany
ATE orbital slotted rotors are the best I've used so far for the price.
Although I haven't experienced this with my Phaeton, my W8 had problems with a brake wobble under heavy braking and has the ATE 2FN calipers which were the predecessors to the Phaeton's calipers. I was worried that it was the discs that had warped but when I stripped them down it appeared that the brake pad connected to the pistons on one of the calipers had very uneven wear. Installing a new set of pads completely solved the problem although I suspect I might need to get the calipers refurbished to sort out the uneven wear...
The Passat 11.3" ATE 57 calipers are the same physical size as the 11.3" ATE DE 54s that came on 96-99 MKIII VRs. So any wheel that will fit over a MKIII VR 11.3" Girling DE 54 brake caliper should fit over the Passat 11.3" brake caliper.
get aome ATE powerslot rotors, and some hawk hp or HPS or HP+ pads, which ever u think will work...and you'll have stopping power..big time.
DOT4. Inexpensive brake fluid? ATE Type 200 & ATE super Blue (doesn't meet DOT spec due to the blue dye). If you have ESP, then it requires a low-viscosity DOT4, such as ATE SL.6 (since ESP were introduced to MKIV's in 2003)
Lo, and behold, the Golf R front brake calipers and the MkV .:R32 calipers are made by ATE and nearly identical to the ATE calipers on the Volvo V50.
I already have the ATE Premium One rotors and Hawk pads on my 1982 Caddy. They don't have the initial bite but are good once they heat up, but still require adequate pedal pressure to ensure an emergency stop. The ATE Premium One rotors are great especially in the rain because they absolutely have that initial bite.
Look for some brembo or ATE rotors from an OE supplier
Both brands of rotors are made by the same vender. Ive used both and there is no difference. ATE is another story,dont ever buy ATE,oem replacement crap.
