Thanks all for your comments and time

The cable in the picture not being attached to anything wouldn't have an effect on the ABS, EBD etc? Yes the caliper is very mucky due to where I live/work haha

yes you can see it in the picture attached. I think it does just look like they are the correct pads with the wrong sensor

Thanks for your reply. Ye it looks as though it has been shorted out in order to get the light off the dash board. Doing this wouldn't have any impact in the ABS would it?

After having my front weels off for the first time on my skoda yeti, I noticed the brake pad sensor cable that's meant to indicate worn brake pads has been 'crossed off' and not plugged in. The socket is disconnected and not attached to anything and sits neatly tie wrapped to the other cables. I know the pads are brand new so I'm not worried they be worn out and I have no wanrning lights on my dash board. My only query is; could this situation have any impact on the function of my ABS/EBD etc? I noticed all the wires are quite close together and don't want this one socket breaking the whole circuit for my braking system and stopping other things from working

Great, thank you all!

Haha Let's try avoid the topic of being 'eco friendly'...we are talking about cars that are basically VW.... Do garages still 'service' power steering on electromechanical cars? Do Parts of the electromechanical steering sytem get spruced up on high mileage cars? Or is this now a thing of the past with this style steering systems?

Thanks all, quite interesting (its my first car with electromechanical steering). Out of pure curiosity; what happens if your car is over ten years old or a warning light comes on regarding the steering system needing attention? ...Would the steering rack get replaced?

Ah, thank you very much. That makes sense. Yes I just had a nosey under the bonnet and wondered why I couldn't find it (or any sign of it)

Could anyone please tell me where I could find the power steering reservoir (pump or whatever you want to call it...basically where you can top up the fluid level) on a 2009 skoda yeti elegance 2.0tdi?
