New Brake Pad & Rotor Kit from 1AAuto.com https://trq.video/ib-1APBS00044

This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ brake pads and rotors on your 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta. Brake pads wear out over time, much like tires, and need replacing, on average, every 50,000 miles, with variations depending on driving habits and environment. Brake rotors may also need to be replaced if they are warped or grooved. Often, it’s safer and more cost effective to replace pads and rotors at the same time. Squealing or grinding noises, or wheel vibration are all symptoms of worn brakes.

This repair was done on a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta TDI 1.9L Wagon 4-Door FWD Manual and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1999 Volkswagen Jetta
2000 Volkswagen Jetta
2001 Volkswagen Jetta
2002 Volkswagen Jetta
2003 Volkswagen Jetta
2004 Volkswagen Jetta
2005 Volkswagen Jetta
