Brake Pad Warning
« on: 20 May 2011, 08:38:54 »

Hi Guys,

I was getting a break pad warning come up on the trip computer, I've changed the front pads as they were down to about 30% but the after market pads didn't have the sensor so although I've got new pads I still get the message.

Is there a way to stop this message or do I just have to live with it and by pads with the sensor next time?

the sensors don't come with the pads but are available seperately from vx,your car will have one each side on the front,or you can do as the above post descibes
