Hi, I need some assistance with my daughters 2005.5 A4, as I'm having trouble resetting the "brake pads worn" sensor or icon on the dash gauge.
Anyone? (See attachment)

thanks,

Rich

 

Did your replacement pads have the sensor attached? If so when you plugged it in it should have reset. If you installed pads with out a sensor then you have to program the computer using a VAG-COM.

 

Yes sensors were attached to pads. Will i have to go back and do something else? thanks! btw

 

Not that I am aware of. I replaced my front pads just a few weeks ago and just plugging in the sensor did the trick. Might want to check and make sure the sensor is fully seated and that it hasn't been rubbed through the wire causing it to short out.

 

So what ended up being the problem?Is it fixed?Any info would be appreciated!!
My brake pad sensor went off this week and am pricing Front pads and rotors.

 

Sorry very busy lately. Warning light still on but not affecting brake performance so still there. I know brake pads are proper ones but perhaps a bad connection. Hope to address and rectify problem soon.
Happy fathers day to all.... FATHERS out there

 

Did you forget to plug in the sensor when installing the pads?? <---- More common then you think
