BOSCH BE1456 Blue Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set - Compatible With Select Audi A3, A3 Quattro, A4; Volkswagen Beetle, Eos, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat; REAR

Worked very well... Problem: I couldn't get the caliper piston on the driver's side rear pushed in far enough to get the caliper back over the new pads..Discovered this AFTER I had the wheel and caliper off of course.. DID NOT have a wind-back tool at all... Wasted a LONG time messing around with it... What finally worked: A. Remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir under the hood.. B. Crack the bleeder valve on the caliper... Believe I was just pushing against too much pressure to accomplish anything before I did those steps... LUCKILY-I had some vinyl tubing that was a perfect size for the bleeder valve, so I was able to make a one-person brake bleeder..Basically a tube stuck on the bleeder valve on one end and shoved through a hole in a cap of a bottle, that already had some brake fluid in it, to prevent sucking air back into the system... Other problem with these calipers is that the piston has to be turned AND pushed at the same time... But once I did A and B, I was able to use needle nose pliers to turn and push and it went in easy... ALSO-The original pads were also BOSCH..although I couldn't tell which particular model, but these were an exact replacement on my 2013 VW Passat S.. I also made sure to lube the guide pins with silicone lube as a part of the pad replacement.. At 61,000 miles (approx) the pads had 4mm (front) and 7mm (rear) thickness left.. I saved around $600 over what the dealership wanted to charge me, JUST replacing the front pads! The rotors are fine..so they didn't need to be replaced.. I measured them and they were 25mm which is basically the OEM thickness...SO the rotors haven't been worn down at all, even after 61,000 miles...! Love this car!

Exactly as advertised, these are a really solid option. Install was a breeze, so far the do a great job of stopping the car, and they're quiet. Would buy again

Muy buenas balatas , muy superiores a duralast y otras marcas de renombre. Bosch es Bosch!! Tengo un Passat que ya tiene 2 años con las mismas balatas y en ese coche recorro 50 Millas diario, o sea más de 25 mil millas y mas de media vida aún!!

These pads are ok. They are the bottom of the barrel Bosch pads so they leave a lot of residue and will probably wear out quicker than more expensive pads. They were easy to install though, so if you want inexpensive pads, these are alright. Mine must have been returns as there was no hardware with them at all, just pads and a shop rag. No big deal. The old springs worked fine.

For vehicles with production date up to 06/30/2014 only.

I saved a bundle by buying these pads for my 2012 Passat. They fit as expected.

These pads are most likely NOT Bosch. They came in a foreign Bosch box that had been previously opened. They did not come in a plastic Bosch bag as my front brakes had.. instead rolled in a shop clothe. They also did not include the clips that should be replaced when the pads are replaced... the front pads i ordered did contain the clips that go with the front pads. The pads i removed said Bosch on the back of the pad, these did not. I installed them because i needed brakes asap. If i had the time I would have returned them... they are brakes afterall. I do my own brakes because i want to cut costs, not because i want to cut corners. I cut corners this time because I was metal on metal.. desparate. The idea that the rag is a benefit is absurd... i would rather had the right pads and the clips..

Very dependable!!

Ces pièces indiquaient compatibles avec mon véhicule sélectionné et lorsque j'ai tenté d'effectuer la réparation j'ai constaté que non. Extrêmement décevant surtout que je ne peux pas utiliser mon véhicule pour un bon moment, le temps de recevoir les bonnes pièces. En plus je dois payé près de 20$ pour les frais de retour. Aucunement ma faute et au final je suis pénalisé.

Good product value for money less than the local market

Vous êtes vraiment efficace bravo !
