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.
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.
Fék csere nem nagyon kell, pedig ez más EVhez képest használja is.
Carbotech has served me very well on my M6
My rear breaks also wore out faster. I just had them replaced (1 month outside the extended warranty lmao kms) at 27k km.
The rear brakes did fail earlier than I would've hoped at 26,000 miles, but this is a known issue.
Only issues have been the insanely squeaky brakes, the sound quality on the speakers in the cold and crappy wipers.
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.
