A disc brake pad wear sensor on the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is your vehicle's advance warning system for brake pad replacement. It eliminates the need to rely on audible squealing from your Golf Alltrack to know your pads are getting thin, instead triggering a dashboard warning light at a preset minimum thickness on the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, giving you time to plan the replacement before the pads wear through to the metal backing plate. Replacing a triggered sensor with every Golf Alltrack pad change is the only way to keep that early-warning system working for the next service interval.
The wear sensor on the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is a small probe embedded in or clipped to the brake pad. When the Golf Alltrack pad wears down to the replacement threshold, the probe contacts the rotor surface. This contact creates a circuit change that signals the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack ABS or brake control module, illuminating the brake warning light. Once the probe on the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack has contacted the rotor, it is destroyed and cannot be reused. It is a single-use component by design on the Golf Alltrack.
Installing fresh brake pads on the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack without fitting a new wear sensor defeats the entire purpose of having a brake monitoring system on your Golf Alltrack. A previously triggered sensor probe is worn through and has no remaining material to detect the next set of Golf Alltrack pads wearing down. From day one of the new Volkswagen Golf Alltrack brake pads, the warning system is non-functional without a new sensor.
Wear sensor compatibility for the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is more exacting than most brake parts. The probe length, contact resistance specification, and connector design must all match the Golf Alltrack brake monitoring circuit precisely. A wrong sensor triggers Volkswagen Golf Alltrack warnings at the wrong pad thickness, or not at all. Every sensor in the GeoBrakes catalogue is sourced to original equipment probe and connector specifications for the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, with front and rear positions listed separately.
Do I need to replace the brake pad wear sensor every time I change pads on my Volkswagen Golf Alltrack?
Yes, on Volkswagen Golf Alltrack vehicles equipped with electronic wear sensors. The sensor probe on your Golf Alltrack is a single-use component. Once it has contacted the rotor and triggered the Golf Alltrack warning light, the probe is consumed. Always replace the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack sensor during every pad change.
Does my Volkswagen Golf Alltrack have electronic brake pad wear sensors?
Many vehicles use a mechanical wear indicator instead of electronic sensors. Check your Volkswagen Golf Alltrack owner's manual or use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm whether your Golf Alltrack uses an electronic pad monitoring system.
Can a faulty wear sensor keep the brake warning light on my Volkswagen Golf Alltrack on after new pads are installed?
Yes. If the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack wear sensor from a previous brake service was not replaced, or if the probe has been damaged on your Golf Alltrack, the brake warning light will remain on even with new pads. Replacing the Golf Alltrack sensor will clear the fault and restore normal operation.
