DS2500 pads and Whiteline anti-lift kit
« on: August 24, 2009, 05:46:51 pm »
Hi,
Does anyone have the part no. for the DS2500 pads for a 2008 edition 30 (front and rear), I can only find front pads listed, some sites suggest wear indicators are not supplied so this has to be bypassed, presumably by VAGCOM ?

Euro performance are coming back to me tomorrow with a price for the fronts.

Also to save me routing around for ages, does anyone know of a DA2500 retailer that also sells Whiteline Anti-lift kits, I was hoping to get away with one set of postage :-)

thanks, have sent JKM an email.

Anyone know what the issue is with the rear pads, I;d prefer not to mix and match.

....

I don't know if the brake pad wear sensors can be VAGCOM'd to accommodate DS2500's (vrStu will know), but it's easy and more reliable to visually check them.

Yes you can switch it off in VCDS or do a ghetto fix by shorting the terminals.   :smiley:

....Hi bacillus :smiley: - "switch it OFF" you say - Mine has never been switched off (unless AP Racing did so, which I didn't see them do) and no pad sensor has displayed itself to me.

If your pads didn't come with the sensor wire then I suspect that they simply shorted the cable that attaches to the pad wear sensor wire. All this does is make a closed circuit like what occurs when using a good pad, fooling the car into believing the pad is ok hence no warning light.

I've also been recommended Tarox Rallye+ pads as an alternative, anyone used them ?
