Brake pads DBA or OEM Volkswagen

I did our Atlas rear brakes without a scan tool.

I have done the all the brakes on our 19 Atlas myself. Like previously stated fronts are straight forward and easy.

No, no scan tool is needed at all for the fronts. They are basically the same as any other brake job. I actually found them easier than my other vehicles

DBA pads and slotted rotors From knsbrakes.com. Came in at $1,080 delivered last year. Completely eliminated the shudder with the stock brake pads and the slotted rotors look awesome.

I’m on 108000kms in my 2017 GLI and it runs like the day I bought it. I do the maintenance on time when needed and it is trouble free. So far all I’ve had to do is the brakes.

VW of macon charged me over 600 for just the front pads and rotors - that's with a friend's and family deal because my dad used to work there. Apparently the OEM parts are super steep.

From what I heard they changed the pads on the 2020 because people complained the 2019 pads were noisy.

I installed rear DBA ceramic pads and rear TRW ceramic discs last weekend and after a week I’m seeing these aggressive scratch channels circled in red. I do hear a constant scraping while driving without braking.

The only thing wrong with them are they are too soft, organic pads. Switch to a metallic pad.

Secondly, defective Rear Disk Brake Pads that wore out on a majority of 22` Taos which was a covered rear Brake replacement if it was under 2ydears and 24 months. I just missed the cut-off and was$700 poorer.
