R36 Brakes

Best thing to do is to give them a little bit of stick! Sometimes they can get a nice shine if there is alot of low speed soft braking being done. Go for a fang and give them some pressure and then see how you go. I have heard this before but not on a vw. I havent had anything squeal on mine as yet.

As above, a few good hard stops may sort them out.

Nos, I'm not really sure about lifespan. I guess it depends alot on your driving style

Don't the brakes come on gently for a couple of seconds automatically after you start going to wash water/snow of the rotors or something?

It's probably the pads themselves making the noise.

Do try giving it a few good hard stops, and see how you go.

Brake wiping works in conjunction with the rain/light sensor from memory. So if it thinks there's rain, the ABS will pulse to give the brakes a quick skim.

Hi guys,

I seem to be having trouble tracking down the dimensions and size of the front and rear rotors on theR36.

Are they just the same as any other V6 highline?

There is company in the USA where I get my pads and rotors , for my Jetta and Reg, awesome, huge life, almost no dust, and great stopping power.

But for some reason the R 36 seems be unknown to these guys in the USA and our VINs don't work there coz we use ZZZZs and they use that space for model options.

Anyway, if anyone can post a spec , diameter, PCD, thickness or even an equivalent model ( like the v6 highline)

I'd really appreciate it , coz my R36 will be due for a set of pads and rotors all round, and I love the ceramic pads I get from Stoptec in the US.

Have you tried looking in some of the other manufacturers catalogues and giving Stoptech those partnos to find the equivalents? That might work.

eg: ATE

I too will need rotors and pads soon & would love to go ceramic. Look forward to the updates on this, sorry I have absolutely no idea on the sizing, but good suggestion from Brad ATE do ceramics etc

Came in very handy for me when getting a RWC and the mechanic tried to tell me my near brand new discs were undersized....
