I dont really know what you mean by half of a dime, does that mean the radius (1/4" ish) or like flat on the table (less than 1mm)?

To disable the sensor short it out with a little piece of wire, then electrical tape it and secure it up out of the way.

u can disable brake light with vagcom, take ur brakes off and check the pin, there might be some crud on it or it might just be tweaked a little. thats just my guess. but yes vagcom will clear it. does it just come back instantly or something?

Have you looked at your inside pads? Please do not just assume that because you see 1/4 inch of pad on the outside that there is the same amount on the inside. These lights usually don't come on unless there is a problem.
