I believe your experience though. I don't think I've tired vw dealer front pads ever. They sure SHOULD work very well all right.

I was told Repco pads were good. I have not figured out why the set I put on did not work. The problem was instantly reversed when I put on an OEM set. I did suspected that I did something wrong, but I never figured out what it was. When the OEM pads were installed and worked I simply concluded that the after market pads were no good. But that's more than 10 years ago. Things may be different today.

Thanks for the tip, Scott.
