    • How do I disconnect the brake wear indicator? I've joined the wires together before the plugs and the light is still on.
      Can I just remove the bulb from the instrument cluster?

      When the rear brakes go back in and the system is bleeded I will finally be done and ready to rego and hand the keys to my mother in law.

        Light out, or I'm sure there is a resistor that will cancel it when joining wires

          • Roadworthy inspector might notice the joined wires or the extra resistor, much less likely to notice that the bulb in the instrument cluster is missing

            • Ok cool. Now has new discs and pads just want the light gone as it indicates an issue that the car doesn't have. Thanks heyden and feenix.

              • Also wanted to turn it off with VAGCOM. Found instructions for a mk4 but not a mk3 so I tried the Mk4 instructions and it didn't work. So guess I have no choice but to pull the bulb.

                • Do only cars made after 1995 have the brake wear indicator bulb? Never heard of it...

                  • Stefio this is a 94 model. Maybe it's just not lit up for you.

                            Wilwood have more clearance.

                            312's do too don't they?

                              yeah 312mm seem too. wheels that clear on my bora (312) dont clear on either the 280 or 288mm mk3 setup.
                              some Wilwoods would be nice
                              means I could stay smaller wheels

                                I think I've got some serious buyers now since the last 3 people that called up have British accents.
