I Need Help With My Volkswagen 1999 Passat by ayukdaboss(op): 1:31pm On Oct 25, 2015
I just changed my brakepads for the first time since buying my car. Although the brakes work very well, there's this burnt smell I've been percieving since then. Also, the brakes and ABS indicators are now constatly on. Can anybody please educate me on what's happening?? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your inputs. Will probably get a new mechanic....its really uncomfortable driving seeing indicators that have never been there before.
