Flunked mu TUV yesterday. Quick fix needed for one item.

I don't have pad wears sensors in the front, and the thin pad warning light on the dash is illuminated. The inspector told me to make sure the light was out, and when I asked him if he was going to check for sensors, he just said to make sure the light was out next time.

I don't like the sensors as they are an added expense and I got through pads at a more rapid rate than most. So, do I just complete the circuit at the wheels, or do I find a way of unplugging the light?

Car is a 951. Any tips?

In the UK a lot of specalists have a bypass loom that they fit to the car to stop this happning talk to the guys at parr

Thanks.

I had a quick look around, and apparently all I need do is twist the ends of the wire together for a permanent fix.

You're lucky, my Golf diesel failed because it had two holes underneath, one in which you can see the carpet
Now I'm in the market for a new car!

I just cut the sensor wires about 2" from the plug that connects to the loom, stripped the wires, twisted them and wrapped in insulating tape. They have been like this for 2 years with no problems.

Did i mention I live in Germany and need LHD,need Front wheel drive or a hatch back, a direct injection diesel (none of this pre chamber crap) and 110 Bhp or over? My budget is only up to 1500 Euros......
So far for the money it makes more sense to get a gasoline I'm afraid....
Diesels are too expensive to buy
