You'll have a wear indicator built in but you don't have to use it. You can either code it out in VAG COM or bridge the terminals so the light goes out

I've only just seen your PM too, I'll reply in a mo

up to 00 they didn't have wear indicators but use an identical size/shape pad, Just chop the wire off and all will be good.
