Alex, I have the wear sensors on my Passat and had to splice the wire after the rotor cut into it. Most likely thats the problem. They normally don't flicker or come on until the pad is worn down to the sensor. Check the wires and connections just in case its either come unplugged or cut.

The brake lining light on my 124 just started flickering, seemingly independent of whether the brake pedal is being pushed or not. I've never seen this kind of intermittent behavior before; when I've needed new pads, I think the light has always come on steadily when the pedal is down. Is this just a variation on the worn-pads signal, or something electrical? (Shamefully, I've never done the brakes on a Mercedes before, so I'm kind of unclear how the wear sensors work and thus whether they could reasonably produce a flickery dash light.)
