Replying to: freespirit1 (Jun 19, 2007 7:55 am) I probably have a copy in my files at home. I'll see if I can find it and PDF it to you. You'll need to "drop your shields" and give an email address (use a throw-away, if you'd like). Wait until tomorrow to see if I can find it for you...

Replying to: freespirit1 (Jun 19, 2007 7:55 am) I found a pdf of the letter, the TSB, and the list of acceptable oils online at my local library's website. It won't link, but I have the PDF on my PC. Give me an address and I'll send it to you, or you can check your own public library for access. Replies to this message: freespirit1 (Jun 19, 2007 11:59 pm)

#8172 of 8249 rear brake pads by brozhnik Jun 27, 2007 (5:16 pm)
At 80K it's time to replace the rear brake pads on my 03 Passat 1.8T (finally! - first time ever). At German Auto Parts.com, the price difference between OEM Jurids ($29) and various fancier options -Pagid ($38), Mintex ($37), etc - is small, so price isn't a factor. Is there any reason to get something other than OEMs? Mintex semi-metallics? Pagids? Etc.? Or just stick with OEMs? Thanks!

Replying to: brozhnik (Jun 27, 2007 5:16 pm) That's a rather remarkable distance to have run on the OEM pads. I've seen many threads on changes under 30K. I had a lot of dust on my rear wheels from the OEM pads, so after much reading I went with PBR Deluxe Plus pads and Ate plain face rotors and have been happy with the choice. They have been essentially dust-free on the rears. I'd say that their bite is about the same as the OEM Jurids, but they seem to be more long-wearing. But wear certainly isn't an issue for you. If you were content with the Jurids, why not give'em another go?   BTW, the Ate rotors I have rusted on the hat area. A bit unslightly. I think Ate has a new line of rotors out that are supposed to be coated/treated. Might be worth checking out.   Word on the street is that Mintex isn't what they once were. I'd avoid them, just on the gossip factor. Replies to this message: brozhnik (Jul 01, 2007 7:49 pm) altair4 (Jul 02, 2007 3:20 am) njpassat (Aug 07, 2007 10:34 am) and 2 more...
