Title: Ttrs brake fitting help.
Post by: pd9264 on August 31, 2013, 05:51:13 pm

Iv come across a problem fitting my ttrs brakes. On the near side front the original caliper has some wires on the brake pads. I took it there pad wear sensors. But my ttrs calipers have no wires on either of them on the pads. Can I just leave the electrical connecter with nothing plugged into it. Or will It give me a fault code or warning light.

you will get a low pad warning, what you could do is snip the old wires and connector from the old pads then connect the end of the wires. Plug the connector into the connector on the car and the car will think all is well. Cable tie the wires/connectors out of the way and job done :happy2:

It will give you a yellow pad waring light..Chop the connector of the pads and join the wires together

or if you have access to vcds then you could uncheck the pad wear monitor...

Get F ones. They are same just new revision. Should be more corrosion resistive.

According to hoses. Get TTRS/RS3 from Hel. Better to order with swivel fitting i like it more.
