Turning off the wear indicator.

[dg-1984]

The brake wear indicator has came on and I want to turn it off.

I have fitted ferrodo pads and I have also fitted the mod to the connector of the sensor by using the red femal spade terminal to short out the pins. The indicator light stayed off for about a month since the pads have been fitted but all of a sudden light is coming on.

I thought it may have been the brake fluid level checked it and the reservoir is full, i even thought it might have been too full so removed some, but the light and beep come on.

I think I read that the light can be turned off using VAG COM, how do you do this, I have a full version of VAG COM so hope to be able to do it.

Any help would be great.
Thanks.

You need your old sensor wire cut the old 1 off and join the 2 wires together then plug it back in, quick bypass will turn the light out just keep an eye on the pads

yeah the 2 pins are connected, i used a female spade connector to do this, as i read on another post.

Should work then as it tests it on a self check when the ignition is turned on.

Do you not have the old sensor ?

no through out the old pads..

The spade connector should work, are you sure it's on both of the pins in the plug.
