Rear brake pads on a 1.9tdi

Post by KLAUD »

Want replacing....came with drilled and vented discs when I bought it....just interested to know what pads most people are using??? And if they have the wear sensors on? Can I just put ones without them in? As there cheaper :lol:

Don't think the rear pads have wear sensors. Mine just has a (broken :evil: ) wear sensor on the NSF pad. I need to get round to fixing it, at some point an idiot pikey has cut the wires.

And I'd just put some OEM replacements on. The rear brakes don't actually do that much as far as stopping power goes.

some have the wear sensors on the rear yeah, if you buy pads which dont have them then you just need to short it out so you dont have a light on the dash, but of course keep an eye on them yourself wear wise :mrgreen:
