I purchased the car a few weeks ago, I knew it needed new pads on the front. Rears were done in January.

So I have just changed them to yellowstuff on the front and did the sensor, and they are great. However I have still got these warning lights..

Its likely I am being a spanner and its something else...and I would use my manual, but this is at the wifes work!!

Please can someone help, or advise as to what I need to do to remove these without spending huge bucks. Ill turn my hand to anything, just computers are not my thing!!

What I think is the front brake pad warning light is all yellow not red and doesnt say anything about a date, or mileage?

This red light wont go out:



This light?



And this is all I get when i use the 'Check Control Function'



Arghh....

Brake sensor? Did you reconnect it properly.

I did indeed and made a point of doing so a couple of times, it was brand new.

Is it after market brake sensor or OEM?
I had my brake pads replaced yesterday and I have the same issue. Ordered another front sensor.

2nd photos is of emission test which you can reset by going into service menu.

I should've read the post properly, the warning light I pic two is the MOT/emissions reminder.

I let my bro in law drive the D3 last week, he's a mechanic by trade and this was the first thing he looked at when going through the OBC.

Re. The brake sensor, they are very easy to snap when fixing into place, I'd take it out and have a closer look. I've broke a couple when replacing my pads.

Calm down, and reset it on the On board computer. If you don't have iDrive, you can do it via the BC Stalk.

You still have to reset it even if you replace the sensor.

Thanks for your responses guys, much appreciated.

The sensor is OEM.

How do you reset it using the stalk as I don't have iDrive?

On side note I used Pagid sensor when I did mine the other week looked identical to the OEM one just fraction of the price. No issues in reseting

Have a look in the DIY section or do a search on this forum, I'm sure. I read it on here how to do it via the BC stalk.
