In most cases electrical connector between car loom and brake pads wires gets corroded. Just open connector, wash with brake cleaner. Then clean the green/white oxide stuff and pry off connector a bit with a needle or smth to make better mechanical contact.
You can also order new electrical connectors from audi and change whole looms with connectors. Use Certoplast to wrap new looms. I'd personally won't disable this beautiful feature.

Thanks Notorious
I cleaned up the connections, where the brake pad wires join the loom. They looked OK, no verdigris or grime. But I cleaned them up anyway. Does anyone know at which point the warning is meant to come on? ie 7mm of pad left, for example?

Does that light come on with low brake fluid as well...?
Worth checking....especially if your front calipers are binding. That's what finally made me get my calipers refurbished. Zip

Although the DIS 'Brake Pad' light was on when I set off to work today, when I drove home later, it stayed out most of the way home.
And after I switched off and back on, it remained out. Must be a loose connection in the connector block. The 'females' are in the lower part, ie the part attached to the pads. How can they be closed up to make them tighter?

I had this issue and I don't remember what exactly I used and how the connector looked like. I fixed it this way.
