S3 brake pad question

[leecs3]

Do they have a sensors for pad wear?

yeah, only the passanger side iirc :thumbsup:
but my last ones didn't work, the pads just wore straight through the sensor without any warning

There is a part in the car that the sensor plugs into which breaks, so either you get no warning at all like S3 tny or a false warning like me when you've still got 1/2 pad width left.

Of course you could always just look at the pads now and then

Couldn't agree more! Technology trying and failing to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
