Product Details

Brembo’s Premium OE Equivalent Wear Sensor line is built for drivers who want a replacement that follows the original vehicle design and warning strategy. This Brembo brake pad wear sensor is intended for the front axle on 2011-2017 Volkswagen Touareg models and supports the vehicle’s brake warning system by signaling when pad thickness reaches the service limit. The A00453 is a practical choice when replacing worn pads and restoring proper wear-indicator function on a Volkswagen Touareg front brake service.

This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 15890 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad wear warning light staying on after pad service
• Loss of pad-thickness monitoring on the front brakes
• Damaged or worn sensor during brake pad replacement
• Restoring OE-style brake warning function on a Volkswagen Touareg
• Front brake maintenance on 2011-2017 Volkswagen Touareg models

Installation Notes

Replace the wear sensor during brake pad service and route it exactly as the original sensor was installed. Inspect the connector, harness path, and pad contact area before final assembly. For 2011-2017 Volkswagen Touareg front brake work, confirm the sensor is seated correctly and the warning system is cleared after installation if required by the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

Brembo manufactures this wear sensor to OE specifications for consistent fit and function. Brembo also recommends replacing the wear sensor whenever the brake pads are replaced to maintain proper wear-indicator operation.
