Product Details

The PowerStop Euro-Stop electronic brake wear sensor is made for drivers replacing a worn brake pad sensor during brake service. On vehicles such as the Porsche Panamera, Porsche Taycan, Audi e-tron GT, Audi S e-tron GT, and Volkswagen Touareg, the sensor helps maintain proper brake wear monitoring after pad and rotor replacement. PowerStop SW-0311 is engineered to meet or exceed OEM requirements and is built for long service life under high-temperature braking conditions.

This part cross-references Centric Parts 116.33011 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake wear warning light triggered by a damaged or worn sensor
• Intermittent pad wear signal after brake service
• Incorrect wear indication caused by an aged electronic sensor
• Loss of brake pad monitoring on front Euro brake systems
• Sensor replacement needed during front pad and rotor maintenance

Installation Notes

• Verify front axle fitment by year, make, model, and brake configuration before installation.
• Replace the sensor when servicing worn brake pads or rotors to restore wear monitoring.
• Inspect the connector, harness routing, and terminal condition before connecting the new sensor.
• Confirm the application notes for Porsche Taycan and Porsche Panamera models, including caliper and brake package details.

Quality Assurance

PowerStop designs its Euro-Stop brake wear sensors to match original equipment form, fit, and function and to meet or exceed OEM requirements. The sensor is built for durability in high-temperature brake environments and continued operation over extended mileage.
