can be removed in instrument cluster softcoding, had to do mine when i fitted the s4 brakes as pads didnt have wires

ross tech states up to 1999? worked on my facelift

[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]
Look at the first two digits in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the correct coding.
00 - No available equipment
+01 - Brakepad wear sensor warning active
+02 - Seatbelt warning active
+04 - Washer fluid level warning active (may only work with pre-2000 models)
+16 - Navigation System (non-USA models)

sorted!!
Thanks that is great, took a bit of thinking to sort as I could work out what you meant.
now reads 01xxx instead of 05xxx

 

[olds_kool]

shouldnt it be 04xxx surely 01xxx would leave pad sensors and disable washer level warning

 

[jcb]

yes, it does say 04, got my numbers mixed up. but I can see what channel the radio is on now!!
