Brake pads for a 2011 R
Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2021 12:17 pm
Sorry if this has been covered before, I did search but couldn't find anything!
I've got a 2011 Scirocco R & it could do with new disks and pads all round.
I can find the disks pretty easily, but I'm having trouble with pads.
Ideally I'd like ferrodo ds2500's for the front as I've used them on other cars & was quite impressed, but it seems like they do not have the wear indicator sensor to plug into the loom on the car.
If I put those pads in, am I ok to leave the wear sensor wire unplugged or will this cause an error?
Also I'm struggling to find the part info for rear pads, most online places keep showing me pads for 256mm disks whereas I think the rears on the R are 310mm (I've not yet had the wheels off to measure them, so happy to be shown wrong on that!)
Thanks!
