Brake pads OEM Volkswagen or OEM Mercedes

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 don't like MBs organic brake pads, I went ceramic and have nearly eliminated all brake dust and good stopping power. I do, very much so, love my MB rotors.

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.

I'm kind of disappointed with the factory VW pads that came with my 2019. My 2013 ran for 120K before the brakes needed replacement. Also, these pads leave a lot of brake dust on the side of the car.

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.

We had an W211 and it was awesome, except of course for the whole brake recall fiasco. Thankfully Mercedes eventually sorted that.

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.
