Tiguan Mk.1 I guess. Very most if not all MQB cars (Tiguan Mk.2) use to use
TRW calipers on front and Ate calipers on rear. So TRW and Ate deliver the
caliper to the factory including the pads. BUT: This does NOT mean these
pads are TRW or Ate made. In fact TRW (ZF) and Ate (Continental) are just
"system suppliers". The car manufacturer may decide for a different supplier's
compound (from dozens of suitable compounds). You might read three things
on the pad's backing plate among other things:
- VW AG (or Audi/four rings)
- TRW (or Ate)
- the true manufacturer of the pad (or/and its compound code FER1234, PA5678, GA9012, T3456)
FER refers to Ferodo, PA for Pagid, T for Textar, GA for Galfer to name the most
common. Not sure with Jurid. I guess Jurid made ones say Jurid XY, but it doesn't
matter.
Just very few pads are Ate (or Brembo) made when it comes to VW, Audi, BMW
or Porsche.
I've never seen any TRW or Brembo pad on any Audi, BMW or Porsche despite they
all use Brembo calipers. Yes, I've seen likes this: Audi, Brembo and Pagid on the pad.
See above.
We're off track here. I still suspect installation issues. I'm sure Tigeo is conscientious
when it comes to cars, but you should never foreclose little blemishes with annoying
results. Get a gauge first. Better knowing before guessing.
