Replace Rear Discs and Pads

[orcades]

Oops, just re read the e-brake bit, how stupid am I. I thought you meant some spray for the discs. Not sure why I thought that.

What does the MOT cert say?...if it is just "advisory" don't bother replacing until you get a Fail on them.

I had my car in for MOT & I said I'd get an advisory, & the MOT did come back with that & a price for the job, which I refused as not a "Fail".

Rears on the MK7 Golf are way over braked for what they do, so they will never get shiny & I have always had rears on my cars get scored & rusty....fronts is a different matter...fronts on the MK7 are underbraked...IMHO...


If you want to get new discs & pads get a set of plain ATE discs as these are made to very tight tolerances..& get their low dust ceramic?? pads...I have their grooved discs which work with their plain pads on the front..

PS I'm near to you & have legit VCDS  if you need some work doing..

Braking heavy from 60 won't do sh!t. Mostly on the fronts.
Don't get VW to change them, they will most likely fit the same sh!t parts again. They use two suppliers, my second set (first replaced under warranty) seems to be better than first but that was only 5-10k miles ago.

I'd go down ATE aftermarket route.

Yes it does, it cleans them up nicely and is the only time I have ever got them hot as the PP is way over braked at the front. Needs to be done every couple of months

Apologies for delay in replying.

1) It was just an advisory re the rear brakes. Never thought too much about the aftermarket options, will look in to that.

2) Golfdave, I’d be interested in some VCDS Tweaks. In particular turning the engine sound thing off.

Thanks,

Thanks golfdave,

Re ATE Discs and Pads, can somebody post a link to a set. I did Google it but there’s a bewildering choice.

There seems to be quite a selection of ATE Brake parts.

PP has bigger rear discs & fronts, basically you have the whole "R" brakes system...

You might need to double check these but that's what I can find ATM..

Have you priced them up for TPS? I get all my bits from them and they are usually very good and are obviously genuine parts.
