Are these fitted as standard to the PD170's?

Cheers. It says in the manual "check model version" - you'd think they'd put it on their two top of the range models wouldn't you lol.

Same here with my 59 Cupra.

Of course it doesn't work because your pads don't have the wear sensor. On cars wich have this system, the front pad on left, has an sensor and a jack connected to the car. The car that doesn't have the wear sensor have normal pads, with no wiring or else. I bought DS Performance pads for my Cupra and they have the wiring and jack, but the car doesn't have them so i had to cut it off and use the pads with no sensors.

Had an 07 Leon FR TDI - this had a pad wear sensor on front passenger pad.

hmm... seems some do and some don't then! how would I know whether mine does or not? I have vag-com but I suspect it will come up asking for them to be changed anyway as they are at about 85% worn.

when you change the pads see whether there is somewhere to plug in a brake wear sensor or not.

I won't be changing them. I was hoping that IF the sensor is there then I could enable it before they need changing and so it would then warn me when they do need doing!
