Brake pad sensors?

[stephenh]

Hi,. Could someone tell me if the leon has sensors for when the Brake pads are low? I have a feeling mine are running quite low on the rear but not had anything come up, My A3 used to have it so just thinking it would be the same, cheers.

not sure but i have just bought a set of front ones for fr and the passenger side has a wire (guessing a wear indicator) but havent fitted them yet so not sure

Checked the operating manual for my LEON CR TDI cannot find anything that relates to sensors, any thoughts?

No sensors on the rear, only the front.

my leon (2007 fr) doesnt have brake sensors at all. I enables the setting via vag com and it immediately said brakes pads were low when they were almost new, not sure about the facelift version though

My FR 2007 had a sensor cable on the front left hand side only ... which is fine, except it was the right that kept spinning up thus the TCS braked the right hand wheel more eventually leaving me 0 pad left on the right disk - only found out when it was metal against metal and more than 33% left on the left hand pads so no sensor trigger yet.

oops
