DIXCEL Brake Pad Wear Indicator Sensor for Porsche Boxster (981)
DIXCEL - Advanced Brake Technology. When upgrading your brake pads or replacing heavily worn components, replacing the wear indicator sensor is an essential step. Once a factory sensor triggers the brake warning light on your dashboard, the physical sensor is destroyed and cannot be reused. The DIXCEL Brake Pad Wear Sensor provides a reliable, direct-fit replacement to restore your vehicle's factory warning system.
Manufactured to strict tolerances, this sensor ensures seamless integration with your Porsche's electronic monitoring system. It features high-heat resistant wiring and durable connectors to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during aggressive street or track driving.
As the official Australian distributor for DIXCEL, Chicane Australia recommends keeping a spare sensor on hand when ordering new brake pads to ensure a smooth, uninterrupted installation process.

* Anti-rust coatings inhibit rust but do not completely prevent it on cast iron. Black finishing on 2-piece rotors wears to bare iron on the pad contact surface.
* Note: PD and SD type rotors may feature High Carbon (HC) material depending on the specific car model application.
