Braking Trouble Signs
The brake system has several components that can cause problems with excessive wear and tear. You should always get a prompt inspection if you notice any of these braking trouble signs:
- Requiring a greater distance to stop
- Brake system warning light on
- Leaking fluid
- Pulling to the side when braking
- The brake pedal feels spongy or stiff
- Burning smell near the wheels
- Squealing or grinding noises
- Wobbling or vibrations
Hydraulic Brakes & Maintenance
The Volkswagen braking system relies on hydraulics to create stopping force at the wheels. Pushing the brake pedal activates the master cylinder pump that amplifies the force and sends tremendous pressure into brake calipers that clamp brake pads into rotor discs connected to the wheels. The braking system needs to operate at peak performance for safety, which requires routine inspections at the recommended miles or sooner in response to braking problems.
Brake Inspection
Brake system inspections include a thorough assessment of overall braking performance with an evaluation of essential parts, including brake pads, fluid, rotors, lines, calipers, and hardware.

Brake rotors with minor defects can have the defects removed via resurfacing service to restore a flat disc. Rotors with excessive damage must be replaced to restore braking integrity.
