Yellow Brake Pad warning light on dash

Post by Jess » Fri Jan 05, 2018 8:49 am

The above light came on a while ago, the rear pads looked quite low so took the car into Audi. They agreed that the pads needed changing. The fronts looked quite new. Once I got the car back, the yellow pad low light came on again a few times, the dealer replaced the sensor wire on the rear...didn't fix the issue as still got the light come on occasionally. They are now saying that they think the problem is with the front pad sensor wires, and want £300 to change the sensor wires at the front as one of them on each side is red when it should be green ! Lol , but they seem to be just guessing as they have now had it in 3 times for this.

Anyone had similar issue and can advise so I can give them some pointers please ? :)

Thanks guys

£300 for 'they think'.
Even better, £300 because one of the wires is the wrong colour.

It's about a half hour job to test and/or replace the front pad sensor wires.
