FR PD130 - Brake Wear Indicator?

Deleted member 7040

Sorry to post on a TDI but its bout my FR PD130 that im stumped on, the brakes forum doesnt seem to be very busy (posted something there awhile ago and didnt get much response)

I bought off eurocarparts.com replacement discs and pads for it. ATE all round (cant afford anything more than that), got it through today and found that 1 of the front pads have a wear indicator. I specified that my car was the FR PD130 Ibiza so does the FR have a wear indicator?

If theyve got that wrong then how do i go about checking whether ive got the right stuff of the rest, i bought the front/read of both pads/discs.

I know the discs are 288mm by 25mm and the rears are 256mm, guessing thats right.

cheers guys

I maybe wrong but when I had my Ibiza Sport they didn't have wear indicators. All you need to do when you come to fit them and there is no wire to connect them is cut the wire off the brake pad and no harm done.

I thought that might have been the case, actually thinking i might leave the connector on but tie it off somewhere. its only 2 pin so im guessing its going to be a switch that makes or breaks a circuit, might be quite easy to install a simple indicator....but will see.

As for the backs i was wrong for anyone reading this, its 232mm and i got 232mm through the post.
