Arteon Brake Pads
- Front Brembo calipers (280hp 4MOTION) — use OEM or Zimmermann/EBC equivalent
- Lifespan: 40,000–60,000 km front; 60,000–80,000 km rear (heavier front bias)
- EPB (electronic parking brake) rear — requires VCDS to compress pistons during pad change
City Traffic Brake Wear Malaysia
KL and PJ stop-start traffic wears brake pads 30–40% faster than highway driving. Check actual pad thickness at every service — the electronic sensor can trigger early in heavy urban use. Rear EPB calipers require VCDS piston retraction when changing rear pads.
