Hi Susanne

I had my brakes redone once cheaply using cheap brake pads.  Drove like that
for years until this year I couldn't stand it any longer.  It was
embarrassing.  Sounded like a bunch of shrieking old women and/or wheezing
rabbits.  Had them redone properly using genuine VW pads. No more squeaks!
