The glazed brake rotor or brake pads generate more heat when slipping and do not allow for the proper brake rotor and brake pad break-in conditions to take place. This condition will, as well, cause the brakes to feel weak when you push on the pedal. New VW brake pads shouldn’t be used with old brake rotors (visa versa).
Where do you change the brake pads on a VW?
