Title: Front pad warning sensor
Post by: DanED30GTI on September 15, 2013, 01:26:48 pm

Afternoon lads,

Just ordered some new discs and pads for the front as they desperately need doing. Only question is when I replace these will the pad warning sensor reset itself automatically or will I need to get someone to reset it via vcds?

Thanks

Crickey they must have been low to get the warning to come on... never had that myself.  I'm 99% sure it will reset automatically, but if not, drive it for a bit and see if it goes out... if that fails then pull the neg off the battery and retry.  IF that fails, cut the bloody thing off and twist the wires together. :party:
