Brake Pad Wear Indicator *help*
« on: 06 June 2012, 09:16 »
Hi guys,

Whilst driving this morning I noticed that  my brake pad wear indicator had come on.

I have read elsewhere this could be a number of things i.e.

Handbrake
Brake Fluid Level
Front or Rear pads.

When scrolling through the "vehicle status" menu it says "check brake pads"

Just wanted to double check any help is greatly appreciated.

Just out of curiosity what is the make of factory fitted pads the car comes with and where can i purchase these from - ta

The rear pads are Bosch and the fronts are ATE

Why Not chane them for updated pads like ferodo DS2500 or something.
