I just installed two Zimmerman rotors on the rears. After I did the brake in procedure per the Zimmerman instructions, I noticed that the rear right rotor is extremely hot, while the left is normal. I adjusted the hand brake per Bentley. The parking brake wire is not tight at all. I don’t...

B5/B5.5 new front rotors and pads $80 + shipping Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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...

My 2015 is already hitting 50k miles and needs some new pads. So I called two shops today and both of them told me they had to change the rotors out when the brake pads are changed. Something about not being able to turn them and something else about a wire. Both shops quoted me around 350.00...

Hello Passat World! I honestly don't know what I would do without this forum, so thank you all for taking time out of your day to read my thread. :) I have a 2003 passat AWD with just over 160K on it. The car runs great in general, although within the past year I've noticed a slight "clunking"...

Ok, really just a general question as I've never owned a VW before this Passat. 2015 Passat Wolfsburg 1.8t Wife drives around 80 highway miles a day, maybe 5 city. She drives like a pussy. Rotors are already warped and VW says new pad and rotors needed. 34,000 miles. Is this common with...

warning light coming on every once and awhile, and pretty annoying....any ideas?...thanks in advance!:)

Never used W8 front rotors from R1 Concepts $170 for the pair OBO plus shipping [/URL][/IMG]

gone to the crushers as there was no interest...

I didn't want to keep diverting other threads, so .... I hope to do my own brake/rotor job on my 2000 Passat GLX 4 Motion. I'll order the rotors & pads today. The goal is to do the fronts this weekend and the rears next weekend. I've watched a bunch of videos and read through a bunch of...

I'm going to take a shot at replacing my pads & rotors. I don't know anything about this. I've read a bunch of threads, and see references to slotted, drilled, coated, etc. I looked on-line and see a range of options, i.e., EBC premium, EBC sport, EBC Ultimax (for one brand). I've got a...

So I changed out the rear pads and rotors today (2002 1.8T). After reassembly the brakes work great but got the brake fault. When I was pressing the caliper back in I opened the bleeder screw. My rationale was that I would introduce some newer brake fluid into the lines rather than shove the...

Hey guys! Im on a tight budget and need new brake pads and rotors. Ive never done it before, but after a few youtube videos, it looks quite easy. I have a 2004 Passat 4-Motion 2.8l v6 Here is the door shot! So here is the 2 brake sets i found on ebay that i think are for my car. Which one is...

I sold the car before I was able to put them on however, I had the same setup on the car and it lasted over 70k miles. They are Meyle coated rotors with HPS Hawk blue pads to fit a 2004 1.8t FWD sedan. The kit improves overall braking response and the pads emit very low dust. I'd prefer to...

I have barely drive this Passat in last 10 months (first heat core leak) and then not at all in last 5 months (water pump leak). Now I am almost done with water pump. The rotors have thick layer of rust over its surface. Should I ignore the rust and just start driving and hope the brake pad...

Hello, I will be replacing the rear brake rotors soon, and am wondering if it possible to replace the original sized 245x10 rotor with a 255x12. Does anyone know? The carrier appears to be the same...

I had the front rotors turned on my wife's 2008 Passat Station Wagon and put on new pads. Ever since, when you apply the brakes, there's a rotational scraping noise coming from one or both of the front brakes. If you really get on the brakes, it pretty much goes away, but when you go into...

Ordered them because when I was getting my new tires put on the shop said they should be replaced. Stupid me not checking them myself and I went ahead and ordered the parts from ecs tuning...turns out my rear brakes are just fine. Idiots. Oh well. Only looking for $100. Located in Western CT...
