The question
Hi, I have a 2001 Audi A6 1.9 TDI. I have changed the brake pads and disc on the car and after that the brake
pad warning light came on. My car is due for its NCT; would that fail my car? Just wondering.
Thanks

Hi Willy,
An illuminated brake pad warning light will most likely fail the NCT. The manual has a provision for failing a car based on pads that need to be changed and while yours were changed the light suggests they're not right. Whoever changed the brakes either didn't attach the brake pad warning wiring or they used the wrong pads. It needs to be looked into.
