How Brake Pads Work

The front brake pads are designed to be pressed against the rotors in the front brake system. However, just using a clamp activated by a foot pedal is not enough power, especially when the car is moving fast. Instead, the modern brake system uses hydraulic brake fluid that, when pressured, creates a multiplication of power on the brake pads, effectively applying them against the rotor surfaces. The effect is that the entire vehicle slows down as desired. However, this effect only continues as long as the pads are good. Eventually, they wear thin and need to be replaced.

Why Have Volkswagen Replace Your Brakes

Genuine Volkswagen brake pads are designed to handle high-end friction caused in typical braking conditions. They have to be able to handle temperatures as well as changing conditions that come with water, road grit, oil, salt, and snow. Even more important, Volkswagen parts fit exactly, so the brake assemblies won’t suffer from malfunctions or improper adjustments because of aftermarket specifications being incorrect. When installed by a trained and knowledgeable Volkswagen technician, the results are full dependability and safety. The work is consistent with Volkswagen factory specs, and the parts are warrantied by Volkswagen versus trying to find a correction from a part supplier down the street. Folks from all over can have their cars serviced by a local Volkswagen dealer versus taking chances, including cars from Cypress, Kohrville, Jersey Village, and Cinco Ranch.
