Autocheck Brake Pad Light

[Ryan Gemmill]

Quats,

Yesterday I had a competent (but not neccesarily Audi proficient) shop
replace the front pads and rotors on my '91 200 (they do mostly Porsche
work). Autocheck's brake pad warning light had been coming on every time I
started the car, but never right away when I turned on the iginition. It
always went on a few seconds after the car went into motion. The old pads
were worn to the point where the sensor would be triggered. The new pads do
not have a sensor for Autocheck. Now, the brake pad warning light comes on
the instant I turn on the ignition.

The shop considered it an electrical problem, but that doesn't explain why
the light comes on so quickly now, and not before. I'm leaning towards the
idea that the sensor wires are not properly tied down. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
