Brake pads OEM Volvo or OEM Volkswagen
I’ve got a ‘21 XC60 T5 Inscription now with about 33k miles and absolutely love it. I’ve had a couple problems with the front, passenger side interior handle but they’ve been covered under the CPO ten year warranty. Wish it had full screen and wireless CarPlay but there are ways around it and replace the OEM brakes with better ones when it’s time as the Volvo ones suck as they wear quickly and unevenly. VERY happy with it.
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.
That said, I have a '22 SE that has 53,000 miles. The rear brake pads failed at 23,000 miles.
At the moment i drive a 2014 volvo v60 it brakes for me when going under 30 mph and something comes in front of me and I brake (too) late has lots of dings and dongs imho as I used to mainly drive pre 2006 and pre 2000 cars.
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.
Rear brake pads are terrible. Lots of brake dust and already at 4 mm at 8k miles. I rarely brake hard and have never need to replace rear brake pads before 100k on any other car.
New Beetles are definitely underrated. They do have some weak points though. The Turbo S brakes are barely adequate for touge.
