77TSI Expertise Needed - Brake Pads

[LukePolo]

Guys,

I have a MY13.5 77TSI with the 288mm rotors on front.

Something has caught my attention, the part sold to me by Brakes direct which hasn't arrived yet was the Remsa 1030.01.

Why on earth is there a sensor attached to it? Am I being sent the correct pads?

Ultimately I need to know before the weekends over because who I am getting them replaced by has a Thursday deadline and the Brakes direct parts are due here Tuesday/Wednesday.........

If anyone knows, please let me know

The sensor can connect to cars with the brake pad wear warning system which will throw a warning light when the pads get too low. If your car doesn't have the system, but the pads you bought do, many mechanics will just cut the cable off as close to the edge of the pad as they can and it'll function just like a normal one. Hope that makes sense

Thank you! That makes perfect sense!

I was freaking out there....
