Brembo A00482 Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Front

Brake Pad Wear Sensor Overview

Brembo A00482 is a disc brake pad wear sensor made to OE specifications for brake systems that use electronic pad wear monitoring. It keeps the driver informed when pad thickness reaches the replacement threshold, helping maintain timely brake service on Audi Q5 applications.

Key Features

• OE-equivalent wear sensor for direct replacement use.
• Electronic monitoring tracks brake pad thickness and triggers a warning at minimal material.
• Made to match original sensor behavior for consistent system communication.
• Fits 2013-2017 Audi Q5, front.
• Brand line: Premium OE Equivalent Wear Sensor.

Detailed Description

The Brembo A00482 brake pad wear sensor is built for vehicles equipped with electronic pad wear indication. It monitors pad thickness and signals when the pads are near the end of their service life, supporting accurate brake maintenance intervals. This part cross-references Gates 21644 and URO 8R0615121A for the same application. Fits 2013-2017 Audi Q5, front, including the 2014 Audi Q5 front application noted for production up to 07/22/2013. Brembo A00482 is a practical replacement when servicing brake pads on Audi Q5 models that use a front wear sensor.

Common Issues It Helps Address

• Brake pad wear warning light stays on after pad service.
• Worn sensor no longer reports pad thickness correctly.
• Need for a replacement sensor during brake pad maintenance.
• Loss of original-style wear monitoring on the vehicle.

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the wear sensor during brake pad service when the original sensor is worn or triggered. Verify the vehicle’s front application and production date before installation, especially for the 2014 Audi Q5 listing with the 07/22/2013 cutoff. Confirm connector routing and sensor seating match the original layout before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

Brembo manufactures this sensor to OE specifications so it performs like the original wear sensor on the vehicle. The Premium OE Equivalent Wear Sensor line is intended to provide consistent electronic brake pad monitoring for service replacement.
