Its been awhile but I think I installed hawk pads and they didn't have the grooves precut.

Now if you never take your own wheels off and glance at your inside pads to check wear, go ahead and keep the idiot light...

I'm not sure what you're asking but the sensors are attached to the pads and need to be unplugged from the pad in order to change the pads.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I ended up selling my 2005 Carrera 2 before I could install these. So, I am selling a front and rear set of Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 brake pads. All pads are brand new and in original packaging. This is a great set of pads for spirited street driving.
I am asking for $190 for the front set and $140 for the rear set shipped to the continental USA. Payment via paypal gift preferred. PM if you are interested.

I'm not sure what you're asking but the sensors are attached to the pads and need to be unplugged from the pad in order to change the pads. You really don't need to change the sensors unless you got the brake wear warning light in which case that particular sensor needs to be changed.
yes; you can just cut off the plastic part at the end and then twist the two wires together (or else it will light up on your dash) and leave it hanging.
Bump to this thread guys!
I am putting my 997tt back together after some extensive works, I bought this
997 febi guibo
and compared it to the old one, seemed the same, so chucked it away...
Now I am actually onto rebuild I find that the fit is not perfect as with the OEM one. It has a gap between the metal sleeve and the locating machined hole in the tranny output. The only way to close it is bolt it up then it slightly distorts the Guibo...
Not good and I am thoroughly p*ssed off with the car at the minute lol
So does anyone know where I can get the
GAP01-002 part from? Has anyone else had a fitment issue with the Febi? DO I have the wrong Febi part maybe? or am I missing something... many thanks

Not all brake pads come with the sensor groove cut out on the pad. Its been awhile but I think I installed hawk pads and they didn't have the grooves precut.
Cut, solder, shrink wrap (epoxy lined stuff works great), zip tie. Less than five minutes a wheel. Super clean and sanitary, the fix will outlive the life of the car.
Never worry about the sensors again. Faster pad changes, no worries about having incompatible pads, one less piece of nanny garbage on my car.
Now if you never take your own wheels off and glance at your inside pads to check wear, go ahead and keep the idiot light...
