Brake Wear Sensor for Audi Front Applications

The Global Parts 1813602 is a direct replacement disc brake pad wear sensor for select Audi front brake applications. It monitors brake pad thickness and sends a wear alert when the pads reach service limits, helping maintain braking performance and driver awareness.

Key Features

• Direct replacement brake wear sensor for Audi front applications
• Accurate brake pad wear detection for timely service alerts
• Blade terminal design with 2 terminals and 2-wire construction
• Oblong male connector with female terminals
• Wiring harness included for a cleaner replacement setup
• Cross-references Standard Ignition PWS357 for the same application

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1813602 is built for front brake wear monitoring on a wide range of Audi models, including A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, Q8, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, SQ5, SQ7, SQ8, RS5, and related variants. It is engineered as a direct replacement for the original brake pad wear sensor, making it a practical choice when servicing front brakes on Audi A6 Quattro, Audi Q7, or Audi S5 Sportback applications. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PWS357 for the same application.

Part number 1813602 is designed to detect pad thinning and trigger the wear warning system before brake performance is affected. The sensor uses a blade terminal layout, an oblong connector shape, and a 2-wire configuration to match the specified vehicle applications. The included wiring harness supports a straightforward sensor replacement during brake service.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad wear warning light staying on after pad service
• Failed or damaged front brake wear sensor
• Intermittent brake wear warning signal
• Loss of pad wear monitoring on Audi front brakes
• Sensor damage during brake pad or rotor replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment before ordering, since this sensor is listed for front positions only. Confirm connector style, terminal count, and harness routing against the original part before installation. For best results, inspect the brake pad wear circuit and related connectors during brake service on Audi A4, A6 Quattro, Q5, and Q7 models. Part number 1813602 should be matched to the vehicle application and brake configuration, including the noted ceramic brake application for select 2020-2023 Audi S8 models.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts supplies this brake wear sensor as a direct replacement component for confirmed Audi applications. It is intended to restore proper brake wear monitoring using the specified OE-style fitment and connector design.
