Application Details

This Holstein Parts brake sensor is built for the front brake pad wear circuit used on 2001-2005 Volkswagen Passat models. If your Passat displays a brake wear warning or the existing sensor is damaged during pad service, 2BWS0138 restores the signal path used by the vehicle’s monitoring system. It is also referenced by Centric Parts 116.33008 and several OE-style interchange numbers for the same front application.

Common Issues It Addresses

  • Brake pad wear warning light stays on after pad service
  • Damaged or broken front wear sensor lead
  • Intermittent brake wear indicator readings
  • Sensor failure caused by pad wear or road debris
  • Need for a direct replacement on Volkswagen Passat front brakes

Installation Notes

Install 2BWS0138 at the front brake pad wear sensor location on the applicable Volkswagen Passat. Inspect the sensor routing, connector condition, and pad wear contact points before installation. Replace any visibly damaged wiring or connectors so the warning circuit can operate correctly after brake service.

Quality Assurance

Holstein Parts brake sensors are cataloged for specific vehicle applications and cross-referenced to OE-style part numbers for fitment accuracy. Verify year, make, model, and front position before ordering.
