Brake pads ATE or Duralast

If you’ve still got UFO fronts the part number for pads is ATE 602847 (13.0460-2847.2)

My last set lasted me 60k miles before I could hear it was time to change. Those were the basic ones

Duralast gold ceramic. No issues at all

Duralast Gold pads are awesome at little to no brake dust

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.

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.

Letztens auch bremsen vorn gewechselt und zu ATE gegriffen, bin sehr zufrieden.

Everyone in Aviation has switched to Duralast brayke pads, it seems... They should have stayed with Akebono.

We use ATE here in Germany. Rear brake pads will probably require a diagnostic device to disengage the electrical parking brake.

Same issue here. I replaced the pads twice with the same brand (Duralast Gold), and the issue is still apparent. It appears to be an issue only with the 340mm brakes for Golf Rs and Tiguans.
