Hi You will probably find a break on one of the wires in the harness,you need to strip the insulation,you may do a heads and tails to see what side you do first.

Tried all those, been told it could be a problem with vacume pump, hard to believe as only done 30k any other suggestions thanks

Hi Cant understand how it has anything to do with the vacume pump,who told you that?

[T5 WRP]

a so called mechanic,
Ihave linked out sensor on pads and checked out leads with ohms meter
all seem fine really doin my head in now

[kenney]

Have you checked the rear pads?

[T5 WRP]

Loads of wear left on rear and there are no sensors on rear.:zx11:

[kenney]

Yes there is rear right

[T5 WRP]

sorry you where right , but to no avale i just whipped of the wheel and there is loads of meat on that one and bridging out the connectors did not work.:zx11:

[kenney]

In that case there must be a fault with the instrument .you can recode it, and remove the ol brake pad control function

is that a job i can do myself or is it back to vw(and the bank)

[kenney]

You need diagnostic equipement to remove the brake pad control function
