2005 audi a8 d3 brakes
Hello all! good day! well i am going thru this issue, which is bothering me alot, i had ordered a set of brake pads for the front and the rear for my Audi A8 2005, just got them installed. everything was done correctly, using vcds/ross tech. now my instrument cluster shows this yellow circle with 3 thingys on each side of the circle, after doing some research i found out that the sensor cable might be loose, but i checked everything nothing seems to works, can someone please direct me to the right track, thank you all. have a great day

Are you using the genuine Ross-tech VCDS or a generic tool? Generic tools will not list many VW/Audi specific codes that are not part of SAE standard fault identifiers.
I apologize if you're using the real VW/Audi tool.

Yes it is an 100% original VCDS, got it done from my mechanic, he told me he hasn't seen anything like that before

Hi johnny J thanks for your reply, me and my mechanic tried multiple time inputting the thickness of the pads, it would only take 12mm, and all the sensor wires are connected, i ordered quality brake pads, so i have no clue what is going on
