Patient's a 99 bug, 298K km (Audiless for now). After putting new pads on front, pedal travel increased, no other changes - brakes work fine. No leaks, no ABS or other warning light stay on. Only thing I found in my search is to change the brake fluid, which is, indeed, overdue in this case. I'll do that, just wondering re: any other BTDT's. Thanks all, Tihol
