Volkswagen Atlas Front Brake Pad & Rotor Replacement DIY (2018-2021 VW Atlas MQB, Cross Sport)

►Your Volkswagen Atlas is only as safe as the parts it wears. The best thing you can do for your family hauler is to ensure it stops as it should, which means staying on top of your brake system. Replacing your pads and rotors yourself is a great way to save a significant amount of money and gain some useful wrenching skills, all while keeping yourself and everyone around you out of harm's way.

When the pads wear down, you're likely to experience a softer and longer brake pedal and an increased stopping distance. Pads and rotors should last around 60,000 miles, but that's not always the case. If there's any juddering, shaking, or grinding under braking, the pad and rotor could need replacement earlier. Regardless of when you replace them, the job is straightforward and can be done in a couple of hours if you take your time.

In this video, FCP Euro's Professional DIYer, Mike Hidalgo, replaces the front brake pads and rotors on an MQB Volkswagen Atlas.
