2006 'check pads' light on

dwheelie · 08-15-2008

Hi, is there a way to disable this warning on dash?

Thanks.

Yeah, replace your pads and sensors. It will go away then. I don't think there is any other way or none that I know of.

You could take the wheels off and splice together the wires from the brake sensors that are causing the warning. Or you could just replace the pads and sensors.

that is what I would do

I'm not 100% sure, but I thought I saw somewhere that there is a Vag-Com coding change that can disable the brake alert as well.

Or, as Yeti and Spockcat said, get ahold of some new sensors and pads and call it a day.

You can change the coding of the dash panel ecu to turn off the brake pad warning.

I dont own a Touareg but have worked on more than I can remember. I was there for the launch and stuggled through the early years with almost no corporate support to speek of and have done many brakes and I Know this job with "good quality parts" ATE/ZIMMERMANN OEM german parts & labor can get a bit pricey.
