New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ABFS01318
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 2010-2014 Volkswagen GTI. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.
This repair was done on a 2014 Volkswagen GTI Driver's Edition 2.0L Hatchback 4-Door FWD Manual and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
2010 Volkswagen GTI
2011 Volkswagen GTI
2012 Volkswagen GTI
2013 Volkswagen GTI
2014 Volkswagen GTI
