Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?

Yes, your Volkswagen rotors will usually last longer than your brake pads as long as you replace your pads before doing damage to your calipers or rotors. By not replacing your brake Volkswagen pads in a regular manner you can damage the other components.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Volkswagen brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Volkswagen.
• Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's tremendously important to keep Volkswagen brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Volkswagen maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Volkswagen braking system together so it can function perfectly.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Rotors likewise called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are several types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Volkswagen
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Volkswagen brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Volkswagen rotors to slow or stop your car.
• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Volkswagen brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined invariably for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Volkswagen maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Mostly, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How much do new brake pads cost?

Volkswagen brake pads can cost somewhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad needed.
