brake pad sensors

Featured Replies

just a quickie

do octy rs's come with brake pad sensor's as standard

As my pads look a little low will i be notifed by the car when thier goosed.

I think they do.

Simple way to check is to look for the wire coming from the pads.

That said if you think they are low then you should consider changing them.

It's obvious. And it's only on the front nearside wheel, from memory.

I've not, I did a quick google but without success.

These are the pads, if fitted the cable would exit in the area where you can see the gold coloured bit -

In this picture you can just see a plug lurking -

Also be aware that it can be disabled in VAG-COM so you shouldn't trust them even if fitted unless you know they are enabled.

Apparently just on the inside pad as well...

Yes the sensor is on the n/s only and on the INSIDE pad on the INSIDE edge.

Not ver clever if your pads happen to wear quicker on the o/s
