2000 Golf GLS 2.0. If I buy my own brakes and rotors, will my brake sensor light automatically turn off or do I have to get it reset some how?
On most cars there's two brake warning lights. One is for the braking system itself, the other for the ABS. Without knowing which one you're talking about its hard to say. In most cases if the ABS light (usually yellow) is on it an indication that there's an issue with that system and generally speaking needing rotors and pads would not trip it. If its the one for the actual braking system (red) it could mean there's a leak in the hydraulic system, the fluid is low, or there's a problem with either one of the lines, a caliper or the master cylinder. In some cases replacement of the rotors or pads might turn it off but its doubtful. On most cars once an issue is repaired the lights go off on their own with no need for any reset.
