Hey people, first post on this forum so hello to everybody.
My girlfriends car is a 51 plate A4 1.9 Tdi. her brake warning light has come on and is the one with a circle with two broken lines round each side. From a forum search this would be the Pad warning ?
I checked the pads which are fine but the sensor wire had been cut on the offside. This I have temp fixed by stripping a section of the wires crimping them and re insulating them. ( MOT due soon !! )
I restarted the car but the light is still on
1 . Is this fix just a waste of time and should I get new pads / discs (however they are allmost new) ?
2. Does the car ecu need resetting ?
3. Does the car re-check its sensors when it hits any certain road speed or is it constantly checking all senosrs ?
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated to make my skinned knuckles worthwhile !
