It's a direct OE replacement for VW 3Q0698151C, built from a low-metallic compound for strong, consistent stopping, and it comes with the mounting hardware you need to get one axle done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hella Pagid 355031751 is a front disc brake pad set built for the MQB-platform crossovers and sedans out of Wolfsburg and Ingolstadt. If you're running a 2018 to 2021 Audi Q3, a VW Tiguan, or a VW Arteon, this is the front pad set that drops straight into your factory calipers. It's an OE replacement for VW part number 3Q0698151C, so you're not guessing on fit or geometry. The pads match the factory backing plate shape, the chamfers, and the slots, and that's what keeps them quiet and wearing evenly once they're bedded in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are low-metallic pads, and that compound choice matters. Low-metallic friction gives you strong, predictable bite when the brakes are cold, and it holds up when the car is loaded or you're coming down a long grade. It runs a little firmer at the pedal than a soft ceramic, so you feel the brake actually working. The trade-off is a bit more brake dust and the chance of some noise if the hardware isn't seated right. Take the extra two minutes on the clips and you'll be fine. For a daily-driven Tiguan or a Q3 that sees highway miles and the occasional hard stop, this is a sensible match to what the car wore from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set ships with the mounting hardware you need for the job, so the anti-rattle clips and shims are already in the box. It does not include a brake wear sensor. The front brakes on these vehicles use a sensor that clips to one pad, and that's a separate part, so plan to reuse a good one or order a fresh sensor before you start. Rotors aren't included either. These are pads only. If your rotors are grooved, under spec on thickness, or have a lip you can catch a fingernail on, do the rotors at the same time. New pads on tired rotors never bed in the way they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward if you've done a brake job before. Push the caliper piston back, hang the caliper so you're not stressing the flex line, clean the carrier where the pads ride, and seat the new hardware before the pads go in. A little high-temp brake grease on the contact points and the back of the pads keeps things quiet. Torque the caliper bolts to your vehicle's spec, don't just snug them. Once it's back together, bed the pads in properly. Do eight to ten moderate stops from around 30 mph, easing off before you come to a full stop, then let the brakes cool. That lays an even layer of friction material onto the rotor and sets the pads up for a long, quiet life. Skipping the bed-in is the number one reason people end up with a pulsing pedal or a squeal that won't quit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHella Pagid builds these to the ECE-R90 standard, the European regulation that holds replacement pads to the braking performance of the original equipment. The formatted catalog number is 8DB 355 031-751 and the WVA reference is 24738, both handy if you're cross-checking against your old pads or a parts listing. Every set carries UPC 4082300690231. It's sold as a set of two per the packaging, with the mounting hardware included, so you've got what you need to get one axle done right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line, if you want a front pad set that behaves like the factory unit on a 2018 to 2021 Q3, Tiguan, or Arteon, without surprises on fit or feel, this is a clean pick. Confirm the OE number 3Q0698151C against your current pads, sort out your wear sensor, and you're set.
