Brembo A00500 Disc Brake Pad Wear Sensor - Front

Brake Pad Wear Sensor Overview

Brembo A00500 is a disc brake pad wear sensor made to OE specifications for brake pad monitoring. It keeps the driver informed when pad thickness reaches the replacement threshold and restores the same warning function as the original sensor.

Key Features

• Electronic wear sensor monitors brake pad thickness and triggers a warning at minimal pad life.
• OE-spec construction for direct replacement performance.
• Premium OE Equivalent Wear Sensor line from Brembo.
• Fits 2014 Audi Q5, front, from 07/22/2013.
• Fits 2015-2017 Audi Q5, front.

Detailed Description

The Brembo A00500 brake pad wear sensor is built for drivers who want the dashboard warning system to function as intended when brake pads approach the end of their service life. This sensor monitors pad thickness electronically and signals when replacement is due, helping maintain accurate brake service alerts. For Audi Q5 applications, the A00500 matches OE specifications and is listed for front fitment on 2014 and 2015-2017 models. This part cross-references Gates 28501 and Hella Pagid 355252521 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad warning light staying on after pad service
• Inaccurate pad wear monitoring from a damaged sensor
• Loss of original brake wear alert function
• Need for an OE-spec replacement during brake pad service

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the wear sensor during brake pad service, as Brembo recommends installing a new sensor with each pad replacement. Confirm front fitment and the vehicle build date for 2014 Audi Q5 applications before installation. Inspect the sensor routing and connector condition during service to ensure the warning system operates correctly.

Quality Assurance

Brembo manufactures this sensor to OE specifications for consistent warning-system operation and original-equipment-style performance.
