2015 Polo 1.2 TSI - Brake pads wear sensors?

[Slider09]

Hi

Can anyone tell me if a 2015 Polo 1.2 TSI have wear sensors on the brake pads (front and rear)?

Thank you.

I was initially convinced that they had a front sensor, and I logged that in my records for my wife's August 2015 Polo 1.2TSI 110PS, this was backed up (or based on) ECP only selling front pads a with a single sensor on a pad.

Move forward to a few weeks ago, I removed all the pads from the front and rear brakes on my wife's Polo - and refitted them, then suddenly remembered that there was no sensor wire to remove, so I amended my records and if buying pads from ECP I'll cut the sensor wire off!

Okay, VW Polo brakes, eh? Always a guessing game it seems. Electrical gremlins abound. Wondering about those pesky wear sensors, are we? I suspect the front might, but the rear, less likely. My old Fiesta didn't, and that was newer than your car. I remember when Granny and I were driving to a festival, and the brakes on her ancient Morris Minor started screeching like a banshee. We had to pull over and get some local help because the pad had completely worn down. Turned out she never even knew wear sensors existed.

Polo 6C never had a front brake pad wear sensor from the factory.
However, the Hi version of the PQ26 BCM (part numbers ending in 089x) does include an undocumented input on terminal T46b/16, along with a corresponding single-bit long coding option for brake pad wear monitoring.
