Built for European applications, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC EURO 5000 Ceramic Brake Pads, part number 1600-1375-00, combine an advanced ceramic formulation with fade resistance and low dust for front braking. They fit many vehicles, among them the 2012-2020 Volkswagen Passat, 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan and 2015-2018 Audi Q3, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
When you press the brake pedal, the caliper clamps the pads against the rotor, and the friction slows the wheel. As the friction material wears thin, you may notice squealing or grinding, a longer stopping distance, or a brake wear warning. These are signs the pads may need replacing, and they can have other causes, so inspect the rotors and the rest of the brake system at the same time. Replace the pads on both sides of the axle together for even, balanced braking. If you're shopping for a 2009-2017 Volkswagen Tiguan brake pad replacement, the "Vehicles it fits" section lists each covered year.
