Brake pads OEM KIA or OEM Volkswagen

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

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.

Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.

I've done an almost complete overhaul on my bought-from-OG-owner low-k '07 B6 3.6 wagon. DSG from an R36, completely rebuilt suspension front to back on airbags, brakes, wrap, interior, sound system (the list goes on and on) for less than the purchase price of a used-by-who R36.

Have original brakes on it at 66000 miles.

The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.

The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.

I have 4,800 miles on a 2023 MK8 and my brake pads are sticking to the rotors.

Factory tires are garbage, but good all seasons and it gets around in the snow fairly well. My rear brake pad that had little wear, fell apart while driving in the mountains around the same time ( not covered ), I have never seen or heard of this happening before here or on other vehicles.

I’m not a mechanic by any means (I do try to work on my car myself for what I can fix and know how to do) but I’m gonna throw my own car under the bus and say VW. Why tf do I need specialized tools, and why do barely any after market parts fit my car?
