2021 Volkswagen Jetta premature brake wear

[gregk24]

I wonder if VW is using the same soft pads as replacement. Have they upgraded the PN or changed suppliers? Or, do they do you the favor or using the same pathetic pads a 2nd time?

The 2019's had many complaints concerning reverse squeakingchirpingsquealing.... when 1st backing up. I wonder if VW fixed the semi-metallic noise on the 2019's by using a more pathetic lesser metallic material.

They have a new part number. More durable.

I can’t believe this thread is still going over brake dust.

What was the PN for the harness?

That is what BMW did.
The introduced pads specific for NA market in F Series. Then, they offered S2NHA coded pads for sport package. But those are actually pads that BMW’s come with in Europe.

Well yes, I expect pads on a daily to last longer than 13K miles.
