I already have installed front 345mm rotors and calipers/carriers/shields/lines) from a 2008 R32/Passat V6 4-MO. So that works.

Pros: works well

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

2008 Passat V6 4-MO front rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, and brakelines are plug and play. You get a factory BBK with 345mm rotors and calipers with a slightly bigger piston....as to not screw with the MC and brake balance too much.

Pros: plug and play

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat

My car started doing that at around 5000 miles. After a few visits to the dealership, they replaced all four rotors. From 60-0 miles, it would vibrate pretty badly and make humming loud noises. It was good for a few thousand miles, but it started to do it again.

Pros: good for few miles

Cons: vibrate badly, humming noises

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 5000 km

Just swapped my fronts again at ~43K. Used VW rotors this time, pads are just fine/have tons of life left. It really comes down to pad deposits from my wife's driving this only around town/short trips and being an early braker.

Pros: pads have tons of life

Cons: pad deposits

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 43000 km

One of my front rotors on my 2019 was showing significant grooving by about 1500 miles. At 12k miles, it isn't really all that much worse. No pulsing or judder.

Pros: no pulsing or judder

Cons: significant grooving

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 19312 km

Not only does my '22 SE have the most atrocious grind and squeak all of you know, i have a nasty groove in one of them. I'm going to all new rotors and aftermarket pads when it comes time.

Pros: aftermarket pads planned

Cons: atrocious grind and squeak, nasty groove

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Service from VW is what made me stop buying them. My wife's Passat was the last straw. We took it in a couple of months after we got the car complaining of a shake in the brakes through the steering wheel. They said it didn't have one even though I knew the rotors were warped.

Cons: shake in the brakes

I purchased a 2021 Jetta with approx. 14,xxx miles on it. After a 4 hour drive, I noticed what sounded like an extremely rusty brake rotor sound (metal/metal grinding) as well as the sound of an unbalanced wheel or un-evenly worn tire. A local VW dealership reported that both rear tires were showing major cupping and that the brake rotors were so rusted that they were pitting and would not pass VA state safety inspection.

Pros: none

Cons: rusty brake rotors, cupped tires

Vehicle: Volkswagen Jetta

Mileage: 14000 km
