Reviews of ATE parts For Business

I primarily use TYP 200 because it provides the same level of performance.

ATE is all I use in my Road Racing Vintage Car. Flush once a year, great braking, I'm in a Pinto that can outbrake most Miatas, it generates some good heating and the fluid does great, no complaints.

I've used ATE for 15 years and never boiled it at autoX.

If I remember correctly, you could also use brake pads from a VW delivery van, which was slightly larger than the VW bus. All you had to do was go to ATE etc. with the right number and you would get the right pads. When you asked for some for the Porsche 944, they said they didn't have any. The ones for VW only cost half as much.

Had German ATE disks - no dust whatever.

Mein Mechaniker meinte zu mir beim letzten Wechsel letztes Jahr ich soll mir keine brembi kaufen. Hab dann auf die ate für meinen Golf 7 gegriffen. Hab zwar noch keine Meinung zur Langlebigkeit aber bisher bin ich zufrieden. Keine unwucht keine Geräusche und bremsen gut.

hatte auf meinem Golf 4 (Variant, 1.9 pd mit 74kw) nur ATE Powerdisk, um den Verschleiß zu sehen, mit vorrausschauender Fahrweise haben die Scheiben immer über 140tkm gehalten, Beläge um die 70tkm. weiterer Vorteil ist die weiße Beschichtung (nicht abputzen!) am Anfang vorsichtig Bremsen, er kann auf den ersten Fahrten auch qualmen. die verhindert aber auch Rost innen der Bremsscheiben für einen großteil der Zeit.

Sounds like way too much for a basic A200. For a dealership I guess it's normal but you can get equal quality ATE brakes for much less than the original Mercedes parts.

YES! i have the same issue and its mental. DBA Slotted Rotors and the Street Performance (Green) Pads, clunk over bumps and when moving back/forward D/R etc. Rattle is 99% from the left side / without the depth check. DBA said to extend the shims so they stick out further, and it works temporarily for about a day, then back to normal. Everyone is recommending the ATE pads, so I might try them, but if these rattle too not sure what to do...

I've used Ate Typ 200 DOT 4 fluid in many cars over the past 20 years. Never had an issue. So when my 2020 M2 Competition was due for a flush, I ordered 2 liters from FCP Euro. Used my Motiv pressure bleeder and made quick work of the job. The next day I drive the car to work and start noticing a squeak from what sounds like the brake pedal. It starts getting worse the next couple of times I drive the car. I start digging for the source of the issue and can't find it. Googling to see if it's a common issue, I find a few forum posts of people having the same issue in their F30, F8x, etc cars after using Typ 200. Apparently, Typ 200 is not a Low Viscosity DOT 4 fluid. A few owners have even had BMW warranty their master cylinder because the dealers are unaware of the issue.
