Brake pads ATE or OEM Volkswagen

Brakes and hoses ATE.

1.4 auto is a good box. Will be nippy but get the brakes checked and renewed if necessary.

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

I did my own brakes, sorta with and without the special tool. My conclusion is that the tool is not strictly needed.

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.

My only issue is squeaky brakes on reverse. The dealership told me to do some hard braking when they get squeaky, and that actually helps.

My rear breaks also wore out faster. I just had them replaced (1 month outside the extended warranty lmao kms) at 27k km.

I'm convinced the MK6 just has shitty brakes (I mean they do stop but I think they're just bad). I've had 2 of them and they both wear unevenly, hang up, or just in general wear out too quickly.

If you have white, the break dust will color your car.

I went to Northland VW this past spring for my 22 jetta, just for an oil change and inspection. Their oil change was close to $200 and then they said I needed my front brake pads and rotors changed. They quoted me close to $1000 for that, for just the front brakes!!! I went to lordco and bought the parts myself and got a local shop to put them on. Going that route cut the cost in half.
