Hey guys,
I've searched a little on this forum without any evident conclusions..

I was about to order brake pads with sensors at a local auto parts store..
turns out there are two forms of brake wear sensors [round and oval].

Since I don't even know how to remove a wheel from my vehicle, I don't know which sensor my car could possibly have...
I was wondering if you guys knew which brake sensor format comes on an Audi A4 1999.5 Quattro 1.8T..
Is it Oval Or Round?? because the store just sent me an email asking me which version I had...

Update; I've digged a little more in the wonderful world of the internet... I've stumbled upon E-Auto Parts stating the the sensors are "Square/Round".. does this mean they are ref. that round = square, square = round?


Thanks for your time and understanding!
(and btw; my friend is going to teach my how to remove a wheel and how to change brake pads once I have the brake pads.. :P)

 

Well, worse case, if you get the wrong one, you end up with an extra light on your dash. The brakes still work. I did my brakes a couple months ago, but I can't remember now which one my car had, but I ended up with the wrong connector. But, they still work...

BTW, make sure you have a 7mm allen wrench. I had to have a buddy of mine drive me all over the place looking for one once I realized my set didn't have one, and finding one actually turned out to be a little more of a PITA than you would think...

Have fun getting your hands dirty on your first Audi project...

 

Thx, I'll go with the "round one's", since they seem to be the most "common"..

Ohh, and my "worn brakes" light is already on! :P so it won't make much of a difference if I got the wrong one's.. lolll

Ohh! (again), does the light come off by itself if everything is fine, or do I have to reset it with a vag-com/ or another method?

 

My guess is it will turn off by itself, but if it doesn't, then vag-com or another scan tool should do the trick.

Truthfully, though, remove the wheel and check it. Or, if you're skinny enough, grab a flashlight and wiggle your way under there, find the two wires coming off the brake pads, and follow it back to the connector...

And don't forget the 7mm allen wrench...
