Brake Wear Sensor

[Cidgrad90]

I was swapping out my stock brake pads for ceramic ones today. In the process, I discovered the right rear brakes did not have a pad wear sensor. Is this normal? The other 3 wheels all had a wear sensor connected to one of the pads. There just into a wire to be seen anywhere.

For reference, my MKV is a 2021 3.0 Premium.

That's odd. The repair manual says there're supposed to be only two pad wear indicator wires, one for the front left and the other for the rear right.

Should only be two total. One for front and the other for rear.

So basically your car is overprotective of you and itself, we have to make do with only two sensors while you have 3

should only be two as stated.

that is odd like others said. there should only be 1 on driver front & 1 passenger rear, I believe.

I even purchased some dust free pads without the sensor hole in the edge of the pad. I’ve had to drill the appropriate hole to accommodate.
