You may notice that the Volkswagen Passat brake pedal has a slight pulsation up and down when lightly braking. If this is happening the Volkswagen Passat rear brake drums are warped and in need of replacement. The cost of new Volkswagen Passat brake drums in most cases will be less than the cost of having the drums turned, so don’t take the chance of overheating and warping the Volkswagen Passat drums, purchase new brake drums when doing a brake job. We also recommend replacing the drums in pairs so the Volkswagen Passat does not pull under severe braking conditions.
Dot 3 and Dot 4 Brake fluids are recommended by most vehicle manufacturers and are a glycol based fluid that has similar characteristics to antifreeze. The Dot 5 Brake fluid is a silicone based fluid that is not compatible with many OE brake systems. You need to make sure you refer to the Volkswagen manufacturer’s recommendations when adding or flushing brake fluid. Today’s Volkswagen's have very complex brake systems and most on the road today have ABS systems that are very sensitive to the types of fluid used in the Passat braking system. Adding the incorrect type of fluid could cost you thousands in Volkswagen Passat brake system repairs.
