I don't know if the brake pad wear sensors can be VAGCOM'd to accommodate DS2500's (vrStu will know), but it's easy and more reliable to visually check them.

Yes you can switch it off in VCDS or do a ghetto fix by shorting the terminals.   :smiley:

....Hi bacillus :smiley: - "switch it OFF" you say - Mine has never been switched off (unless AP Racing did so, which I didn't see them do) and no pad sensor has displayed itself to me.

?? :confused:

same here

bacillus:
If your pads didn't come with the sensor wire then I suspect that they simply shorted the cable that attaches to the pad wear sensor wire. All this does is make a closed circuit like what occurs when using a good pad, fooling the car into believing the pad is ok hence no warning light.

I've also been recommended Tarox Rallye+ pads as an alternative, anyone used them ?
