Five clear signs are squealing, pulsation, longer stops, a brake warning light, and grinding.

Your 2018 Volkswagen Passat is a 2.0L turbocharged midsize sedan (174 hp/184 lb-ft), so brake performance matters on I-70 grades and Colfax traffic. Squeal often means pad wear indicators are contacting the rotor; grinding means pads may be down to the backing plate. Pulsation can indicate rotor thickness variation from heat.

• Squeal or scrape that changes with pedal pressure
• Steering wheel/brake pedal vibration during stops
• Brake warning light or increased stopping distance

A brake service includes pad measurement, rotor thickness checks, hardware service, fluid level check, caliper slide cleaning/lubrication, and a road test.
