This is the genuine Porsche Brake Pad Wear Sensor 99160916500. It fits select Porsche 911 and Cayman models. Your 911 or Cayman can run many miles with no clear wear signs.
This small sensor gives you the only early warning. A thin wire sits at a set depth inside the brake pad.
When the pad wears down, the spinning disc cuts the wire. Your brake system sees the break and turns on the dash light. You get time to book service before the disc gets damaged. You drive a 911 or Cayman the way it should be driven
If pads hit bare metal, damage starts within seconds.The disc can score within metres of metal contact. Repair costs rise far beyond a new pad set and sensor. This sensor uses a set trigger depth for your model. It also has a unique wire length and plug type
A cut wire cannot protect your next set of pads. Never reuse an old brake pad wear sensor. You can order this genuine part from EuropeanAutoSpare today.

| Porsche Model | Application | Year Range |

Yes, this is a genuine Porsche OEM brake pad wear sensor (Part No. 99160916500). It is a precision-calibrated safety component designed to integrate seamlessly with your Porsche’s onboard diagnostic system and instrument cluster.
The sensor is designed to trigger a dashboard warning when exactly 2.5 mm of friction material remains. This is the factory-determined minimum safe thickness for the front brake circuit on high-performance Porsche models, ensuring you have ample time to schedule a replacement.
No. When a sensor is triggered, the sacrificial wire inside the sensor head is physically severed by contact with the brake disc. This breaks the electrical circuit to signal the warning; once this occurs, the sensor is permanently non-functional. We strongly recommend fitting new sensors with every pad change to ensure continued protection.
This sensor is compatible with the Porsche 911 (997 and 991 generations) as well as the Cayman (987 and 981 generations). Because harness lengths and connector types can vary between base, S, and GT models, please send your VIN to European Auto Spares to confirm the correct position for your specific vehicle.
Yes, fast delivery is available across the UAE and worldwide. European Auto Spares provides professional support and specialized packaging to ensure your genuine Porsche braking electronics arrive in perfect condition.
