Brake Pad Wear Sensor

[achk]

Does anyone know if the B8 passat is fitted with brake pad wear sensors? Mine is a 2017 206TSI wagon. Last service report indicated that brake pads/rotors may need to be replaced before next scheduled service. So far no indications on the dash.

Id say so, my 2010 Golf GTI, 2011 Golf R and 2015 Audi SQ5 have front wear sensors, so im sure your 2017 model Passat will do also.

Bear in mind that the wear sensor is basically a circuit and if it wears through (causing your dash light to tell you brake pads need replacing) the sensor itself will need to be replaced. If you change the pads before they wear through you can re-use the sensors. In saying that, most decent brand pads will come with new sensors.
