Title: Brake pad warning
Post by: Toledodude1973 on 28 February 2016, 19:50:33

I've had brake pad check light come up a coup[le of times recently,haven't had a chance to change/check pads yet (a.s.a.p) what im asking is do they give you some leeway before worn out completely?

Yep, you'll struggle to remove it as it's already worn through the insulator and will usually just fall apart.

VX Part no:- 90495144, have used Febi ones before which were fine.
