Brake Pad Wear Warning Light

[Max Hoepli]

My pads at all wheels are thick, the sensor wires have been cut from the
front pads.

I'm having the same issue on my 2000 A6 2.8. I'm taking off the left front
wheel this weekend to see. It's dirtier than the other wheels so I'm
guessing its a sticky caliper. After all, the car has 178,000 miles. The
pads look more worn than the other side so I wonder if the inside pad on the
front left caliper is really worn down.
