When there’s a lot going on in life, you need something you can rely on. And that’s a Volkswagen. When it comes to the safety of you and your family, Volkswagen genuine brake discs and pads are the added protection you need. Rain or shine, long haul or a short burst to a local cafe, compromise nothing with genuine parts.
Volkswagen Genuine Brakes perform optimally with your braking system. They are designed precisely for your Volkswagen’s top speed and its weight. For quality that goes beyond the statutory ECE-R90 brake standard.
Some of the benefits:
To ensure the safest driving experience, your brakes must be tailored exactly to your Volkswagen’s engine performance, weight and top speed. Volkswagen genuine brake discs and pads take the guess work out of safety by ensuring an exact match every time.
The brake discs and pads on each axle must be changed in pairs to ensure consistent braking. If pads are more heavily worn on one side of the vehicle, your Volkswagen may pull to one side in an emergency braking situation.
If your “Brake” control warning light is flashing, we recommend you contact your approved Volkswagen service centre. Only a Volkswagen trained specialist should be working on your brakes.

This light could mean either the handbrake is applied, if so, release it. In other cases, brake fluid may be low or the brake system may be faulty, in either case the vehicle needs to be immediately transported to the nearest Volkswagen service centre for further inspection.
If this warning light is showing on the dash, this is a good indication that it’s time to book a service with your local approved Volkswagen service centre. The trained technicians will check the pads and replace, where necessary.
