VW Golf 7.5 Brake Pad Warning Light

[marcosgt]

The Brake Pad Warning Light has been coming on, on and off, for a couple of weeks and is now permanently on.

Is there any way to determine which brake pads are low without taking the wheels off and having a look? Perhaps via a code?

The car information screen just highlights all 4 wheels.

Cheers

apply liberal amount of grease to each disc in turn - the disc that doesn't affect braking distance is the affected one.

There will be a code stored for the axle that's tripped the sensor, yes.

I don't think there is a wire on the rears, the wire for the front is NS
