It is also used for brake proportioning. Without it, the rear brakes will lock up early. Dangerous.

It's a $200 fix. Fix it.

Default Eleventyth.
I've replaced the electronics on both the A8 and the A6.

Default No perhaps about it. There's no way the pads affect the ABS and BRAKE lights.
I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, but doubt you can do so.
