It has come on twice in the past 2 days and I am not sure what it is. I have searched online but have not been able to find any answers. If anyone knows please help me out. Thanks | | | 06-12-2007, 10:17 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | If my eyes don't deceive me, that's the brake pad wear indicator. Mine was on for months, because I accidently damaged the wire. Check the sensor wires for damage, and check the pads for wear.

I've seen Pagid and Hawks getting recommended but I am hoping others might be able to help out. | | | 06-12-2007, 10:55 PM | #5 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | Yep that is the brake pad indicator,sensors are located on the front drivers side tire and the rear passengers side tire. There is only two, one in the front and one in the rear. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 06-12-2007, 11:31 PM | #6 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | If the light came on due to worn pads, you must first replace the pads and either A)replace the sensors ($20ea at the dealer) or B)cut each one of the sensors off, strip the insulation off of the wires and twist them together with a small wire nut or electrical tape and secure them somewhere out of the way. Otherwise the light will remain on since the circuit is open due to a worn through sensor. Also FWIW, keep an eye on your brake pads. You should check those types of things regularly instead of waiting for a light to remind you It is possible that the wire could have gotten damaged if you were working on your suspension recently or if something got tangled up in there. Be sure not to confuse the brake pad wear indicator wires with the ABS wires. The pad sensor wires are the smaller of the two and are located on the drivers side front and the passengers side rear. The sensor just pulls straight out of the back of the caliper. | | | 06-13-2007, 01:02 AM | #7 | Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Daphne, AL Posts: 72 | Quote: Originally Posted by Tyler Yep that is the brake pad indicator,sensors are located on the front drivers side tire and the rear passengers side tire.

Does brake dust bother you? __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 06-13-2007, 04:09 AM | #9 | Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Daphne, AL Posts: 72 | Brake dust bothers me quite a bit but not if I have to sacrifice performance. I am looking to possibly upgrade or replace my current braking system. I do a lot of city driving during the week and a lot of back road 90 degree turns on the weekends, I always drive fast but I am not into high performance or racing set ups. Hope that helps. | | | 06-13-2007, 11:35 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | I bought some PBR Ceramics from Bimmer-bum on eBay... waiting for them to come still but I've read good things. My OEM pads aren't worn, but I've gotten them so hot that they melted onto my rotors so I need higher temp stuff (hence ceramic). An even better, but more expensive alternative, are Hawk HPS Street pads, but I think they have a lot of dust, and there's another brand of ceramics that I can't remember right now. | | | 06-13-2007, 05:03 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Regensburg, Germany Posts: 584 | Pat, whats the deal with that link that says Free money etc...under your profile? It looks like spam to me. | | | 06-13-2007, 08:17 PM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Central NJ Posts: 2,440 | It's not spam. I did it and got a free XBOX 360 elite (I have pics too if you are interested). I was offering $15 off the GB for members who did it (since I need referrals) and still do need referrals. Since the GB is already rolling with the stuff paid for already, if we have another one and I run it, I might offer it again. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
