Default D3 Rear Pad replacement

Guys,

Probably just being thick here..

But when replacing the D3 pads and putting the new thickness into VCDS, what thickness to I use, the width of 1 pad, or both together?

If you cycle the handbrake (as you should do) you shouldn't need to enter a value. But the thickness is of 1 pad.

Sorry to drag up an old thread but better this than starting a new one on the same subject.


When putting in the pad thickness am I correct in thinking it is the thickness of the Ferodo material that is entered and not the material and the metal backing
