Reviews of OEM Volkswagen brake pads

I just traded in my 2019 Jetta with 65000 miles, never changed the brakes, but looked at them at 60000. It looks like they were at thick as new, insane. Would stop on a dime.

I've got 160k kms on my front brake pads on my 2012 tdi.

Rear pads I've changed 3 times.

It's got exceptional engine braking.

I love all the things that set it apart from the standard GTI - suspension changes, VAQ improvements, power and brakes.

New Beetles are definitely underrated. They do have some weak points though. The Turbo S brakes are barely adequate for touge.

Fék csere nem nagyon kell, pedig ez más EVhez képest használja is.

I’ve clocked 14k, and yes, I’ve already finished off my brake pads. Truth be told, I don’t really expect them to last longer since I drive quite aggressively. Now, the OEM pads cost roughly around 6k with labor. Honestly, I don’t think they’re worthwhile, as the braking feels noisy and lacks bite.

well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors

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.

OEM VW brakes are crap.
