brakes

I recently noticed an intermittent noise on my 2001 1.8 wagon. It sounded like metal scraping on metal, like the brake shield on the rotor, it did not change when I pressed the brakes. I took off the wheel and I noticed green gunk everywhere. I saw that my cv boot was torn, so I took out the...

Hello, I will install all new rotors and brake pads on my 1.8T brand Are and also put new oil. After removing a old oil and putting a new after vent of all calipers should i need to vent/bleed also a slave cylinder on clutch or dont need, but is recomended??

Car: United States 2002 VW Passat 1.8L Turbo FWD Issue: Info center will only display "STOP, Brake Fault, Service Manual", red Brake Light constantly flashing, and the dreaded 3 Beeps when starting vehicle. SEL also on, but related to an issue with the CAT. Ultimate Question: how do I get the...

So this is the second Passat I’ve had with this problem. 2003 GLX 4 Motion. I changed pads and rotors last month. Was pretty careful, used the pink brake quiet stuff. The problem is when I brake everything works fine up until the last second of completing my stop. At the last moment there is...

Ever since we bought it (around 160k miles, currently 200k), our 2002 V6 4motion has been having unbalanced wheel-like vibrations around 65 mph and faster. In the meantime, we have replaced the tires, wheels, and rotors/pads. The vibrations occur irrespective of braking and are more noticable in...

Hello all,My name is Brett and just joined this site.Has anybody had a locked up brakes problem that happens gradually as brakes warm up?I have replaced MC and booster and all air bled from system.Could overfilling resevoir cause this?Thanks

Hello all, I searched threads but didn't see one like my issue. I may have missed it. Here's my issue... I have a 2004 Passat wagon 4motion. I replaced the front brake pads and rotors like I've done on many of my other cars before, however this time, the brakes were locked once I started the...

I have a 2010 Komfort Wagon that is due for brake service. I have tools for the EPB. My question is regarding removal of the caliper mount from the axle. At first I thought it was a TORX, but I realize that it has too many points. What is this type and size of socket? Thank you in advance.

2005 1.8 Wagon AWM 4motion, 188K Brake pad light came on, check brake pads in the front. They needed replacing, replaced them, good job brake pad light. Grinding noise starts in the back of the car. Both rotors in crappy shape and right side down to steel on inner pad. Change out...

So i have to change my brakes and figured since I've got a 99 and I'm pretty sure the pads haven't been changed since 99 lol, I figured I'd do a pretty big overhaul. I want to change as much as I can but I can't seem to find a list of stuff that I need. So far I have: - brake pads - rotors -...

I have been experiencing a MIL for "Check Brake Pads." I have also noticed that when I am coming to a stop I get a grinding feeling/sound. I believe this issue is on the front brakes. Upon inspection of my brake fluid yesterday I noticed that my brake fluid reservoir has a defect in the upper...

I just had axles replaced on my passat from non-dealer. (They had gotten pretty bad, cv boots were torn and were clacking whenever I turned the car). When I picked up the car, I noticed that whenever I have almost reached a complete stop, the brakes give a little rumble/grumble sound, and I...

Got a very neglected Passat, rusting outside with no driving for three or more years... I knew sooner or later I will need to do brakes, because rotors looked overgrown with rust and I had to un-stuck after finally starting the car first time. I was hoping the pads will make rotors more shinny...

2006 Passat, Is it true you have to electrically &/or computer control the rear brake pads to release and change them? $600. to have dealer replace them and replace the rotors too? aaaargh Mac

This is a new problem (at least to me). My kid's 01 B5 GLX 4motion wagon makes a squeaking noise when the brakes get warmed up. Driving short distances on relatively flat ground I never hear it. But if I take the car into town (3000' drop in elevation over 10 miles), by the bottom of the...

*sigh* It was supposed to be a simple front brake job. I stripped out the caliper carrier bolt hole on the front driver side. Anyone know what size helicoil I need to repair this? The bolt is fine. Went to tighten it and it just kept going and going. Backed it out and there were the filings...
