Brake pads warning

as seen from the picture, my brake pads are giving me a warming.
but which one(s) ??
I would expect to have an error in VCDS, but no such thing.
did look at the meas.blocks values, but nothing there.
so, how do I find out which blocks are worn ??
or at least if it is front or rear ??

I will inspect the pads visually.
but you can only do this on the outside of the car.
will the inside pads be more or less the same ??

the visual inspection show ca. 3 mm in the front and 4 mm in the rear.
not bad for 125.000 km :)

what would the original thickness of new pads be ??

I have my own VCDS-cable, so that would be the way to go :)
but thanks for the heads up :thumbsup:
