G'day all... I'm getting an intermittent brake pad warning light on the dash lately. Everything looks good on Vag-Com and there's still plenty of pad material left. It's a '99 if that matters.

If you're lucky, there's a short right down near the connector. If you're unlucky, you might have to trace the wiring to find it.

See Paul W's site for the details (I think we really should all chip in for that spiral sliced ham... )<ul><li><a href="http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/susp_whls_brake_steer/brakesensor.html">http://www.audipages.com/Tech_Articles/susp_whls_brake_steer/brakesensor.html</a</li></ul>

... thanks, where can I send the "ham" contribution?

No, an open in the wiring. A broken wire or corroded connection turns on the light

I renwed the URL last Friday, they said it was still "propogating" but that doesn't usually take more than 24 hours, normally less.

I think they did it again this morning....so hopefully it will be back up again very soon.

^^^ Yeah, what he said (my bad)

My 100 buck ebc greens set the lite off for weeks. My 30 buck autozone pads have not done it once lol

if there is a split in your pads, dust can build up there and when the dust gets wet it forms a bridge and then the sensor goes off...
