help with brake warning before mot
« on: November 13, 2015, 05:52:12 pm »
Mot next week and brake pad warning is on!

I read that there is only sensors on the front? and I know the fronts are fine as the car had new discs and pads on the front about 2000 miles ago...

How do I reset the warning light?

Also the brake fluid level is okay I already checked that
Cheers :smiley:

You can get the light coded out with vag com or if you take the n/s/f wheel of and check the wire of the pads is plugged in properly
