Questions:
First) the front pads usually need the change, not the rear ones?
Second) did you also change the sensors?
Third) why did you do it yourself
= problems!

I small add to the answer I send, to vl20sas you, on the personal side.
The dics needs also to be changed every second time you change the pads.
Not now, but the next time.

Sensor cost 17 Euros, I think it is on the rear right brake caliper.

Replace your rear sensor (1 piece) and then will automatically be reseted. Don't allow the pads to show 1000 km, when it shows 2000 change the pads, otherwise you need new sensor because during this 1000 km the wire on the sensor has been cutted and when you reset it, it shows -25000 which means destroyed.

I want to thank in public nicke60gre since today I have renewed my rear brake pads and the sensor and managed to delete the alarm message.
The indication was -150 Km and with the first try indicated -25000 Km, with the second and third try no change but with the fourth try I did it and here's one small detail, that maybe help others:
When the "reset?" will appear, you must keep pushing until the -25000 will disappear. Then you must push again for a single time the tacho reset button.
The previous times, I was pushing the tacho reset, at the "reset?" question, the -25000 was disappearing and then i was stopping pushing the tacho reset but it was wrong. I had instantly to push it one more time.
Then everything came buck to normal and the next rear brake change is due after 50000 Km.
Thanks Nick
