Brake pads ATE or OEM KIA

I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.

I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.

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

It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.

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.

Aftermarket on some newer Kia models can cause judder.

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

Hatte mal teure ATE Bremsen die sofort verrostet sind. Nie wieder.
