Bosch BP768A front brake pad for the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta and other vehicles is a semi-metallic pad set with a copper-free friction formula and an electronic wear sensor. It presses against the rotor to slow the wheel.
- Copper-free friction formula made with an advanced aerospace alloy, compliant with 2025 Copper Free legislation
- OE style rubber core shim, pre-attached in multiple layers, for lower noise, more strength and corrosion resistance
- Bosch QuietCast brake pads are formulated for quiet performance and low brake dust
- PTFE and rubber coated hardware reduces vibration and noise and prevents binding to the caliper
- Powder-coated backing plate prevents rust and corrosion, and a protective transfer layer extends pad and rotor life
Squealing, grinding or a lit wear-sensor warning can mean the pads are worn. Before you replace this disc brake pad set, rule out a sticking caliper or a damaged rotor, since either can wear pads unevenly or cause similar noise.
This front pad set is a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, the 2001-2006 Volkswagen Golf and the 2000-2006 Volkswagen Beetle. The 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta takes one set. If your car is not named here, look it up in the "Vehicles it fits" section to see whether this pad set is listed for it.
