I have just changed the front discs and pads along with wear sensors, all from the brilliant Design 911 brake kit.
Leading evidence: 'Replace front discs and pads along' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Check connections again although it seemed a sweet job' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

I tested the new Cayman a few weeks ago and loved it but it was woefully underpowered compared to a 911.

Check all the connectors are making a good contact, and that the sensors are properly seated in the pads.

Also, although sad to see it go I'm thinking about changing my car.
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.

Hi Chaps
Its been a long time of radio silence but that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the car.
I have just changed the front discs and pads along with wear sensors, all from the brilliant Design 911 brake kit. However, I now have the "service brake wear" warning message on the OBC.
I expect this question has been asked a dozen or more times but I have searched the forum and can't find any reference to it. So, is there a way of clearing the message without specialist equipment? Or do I need to find somebody with the kit to do it?
Thanks for any help.
Also, although sad to see it go I'm thinking about changing my car. What should I replace it with?
Regards
The message should clear by itself, so I think you may still have a problem.
First, are you sure it isn't the fluid level warning light?
The wear sensors are connected in a loop running from the instrument cluster, from wheel to wheel, and back to the cluster. Either a break in the circuit, or a short to ground, will trigger the light. Check all the connectors are making a good contact, and that the sensors are properly seated in the pads.
Edit: And have a go in a Cayman! [

I definitely get the brake wear warning in the computer display. When I ok it then the brake warning light remains lit. I will check the connections again although it seemed a sweet job.
I tested the new Cayman a few weeks ago and loved it but it was woefully underpowered compared to a 911. Which means it would have to be a Cayman S. They had the perfect one in the showroom that I would have gladly driven away in, just as it was. Unfortunately, there were sixty two thousand reasons why that wouldn't happen. Gulp!
If you don't need the 2 rear seats for the legless dwarfs Stuart, I'd certainly recommend that you try out a more affordable Gen2 Cayman S if 981 prices are still too high for you.
Hope you get the brake problem sorted.
Jeff
