Check brake pads light (while on holiday)

[ThomasHJ]

The "check brake pads"-light has come on. An orange light which shows up every 15 min or so.

The Cali is scheduled to go to the dealer for service just after our trip. We are in France on holiday.

Can anyone tell me how long its safe to drive? Are we talking days, weeks or stop now and call someone?

My neighbour was a technician with the VW racing team and he told me VW recommend changing pads at 3mm and the lights comes on at about 5mm.
I suspect you have about 2000 miles on that basis.

Probably much more so no worries....
