Leon Brake wear sensor mod

[D.K]

Dont know if this will help anyone.

I have found a new way to turn off the brake wear warning light after replaceing the front brake pads on the Leon Cupra R fitted with Brembo caliper's.
The most common way is to cut the plug off the pad and then join the 2 wires together to make a circuit when pluged back in.
But if you no longer have the pads with the plug on you can use one of these

It is just the right size to join the 2 prong's inside the socket (car side) just push the connecter onto the prong's and then simple wrap the socket in black insulation tape so that water and grit does'nt get in.
This should only take 5 minutes to do plus removeing and refitting the wheel.
Job done and no more bleeping or warning light.

Thanks EL for being my Guinea Pig

Would self amalgamating tape be better than electrical tape for this?

I used electrical tape and tied it out the way with a cable tie.....never had any issues, nor have I heard of anyone else having issues.

Guess it depends what you have to hand

The heat shrink cable wraps would be good for keeping the water out too

Hi guys
Done the brake mod earlier, works a treat, slightly different cut the wires next to old Pad unclipped connector of the car cut wires to an inch long and soldered together then slid heat shrink over the top to keep water out, plugged back onto car in case I get some pads later with wear indicators so I can plug in as normal.

Big help guys thanks

sorry if this is a stupid question but why do you guys fit pads without a sensor? is it cost?

 

[LEE69]

Some come without it.

 

[Shooter0073]

A lot of pads come without sensor, and also they can be very temperamental, for the sake of bending down sticking ya finger on the pad through ya wheel it saves have that bloody light on the dash and it beeping every time ya turn ya car on lol

 

[kr1s77]

oh ok, i thought there was more to it than that lol.
