Over 20 mph, front brake then add back brake. Under 20mph a little front but mostly back brake. Under 5 mph back brake only. In an emergency front brake hard and add back brake hard. Change down after braking, even if you brake to a standstill.

Adjust or replace the stoplight switch at the upper end of the brake pedal under dash area
you probably need to change the brake fluid drain it then put new fluid
Did u clean the surface of the brake pads before you replaced them. If you touched the pads or they have grease on the pads they wont work good. How does your parking brake work?
suggest purchase service manual because procedure is not hard but lengthy.auto zone or advance have them for $18.95.
you have to take off the hubs and you need crazy hard to find tools
For several years of the Chevy astro van had a power brake and power steering system that was linked together. Instead of a brake booster, the power steering pump provides power to the power brake system. Often, if the brake pedal would become hard to push, it is a power steering pump problem. Change the power steering pump and the power steering fluid and your problem may disappear.
This link has the manual on how to change the brake pads. http://files.mytouareg.info/autoindex.php
It is kind of hard since the parking brake and brake adjusters are on the rear. I suggest getting a manual on your car from the parts store.
A hard brake pedal can be caused by several different factors. It can be as simple as the brake pedal getting caught on something to the power brake booster being bad. You could also have a brake pad or shoe that is sticking, causing the brake fluid to boil. When brake fluid boils, it expands and can cause the hard brake pedal that you feel. A brake pedal that is hard to press can also be caused by a build-up of water in the brake line. The water in the brake line lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. A hard brake pedal can also be the result of a restriction in the brake line, such as a bent brake line or foreign material in the brake fluid. The most common cause of a hard brake pedal is the sticking brake pad or shoe, causing the brake fluid to boil. Tracking down what is causing the hard brake pedal can be frustrating, to say the least. Take the vehicle for a drive and when you come back, feel your brake lines near the wheels. Caution: The line may be very hot! If one is extremely hot, you may have just found the culprit causing the hard brake pedal.
Each are done differently. and depending on the car. this can be easy or hard. get a Chiltons manual.
