Hello this is Jason again. Looking like you posted in the Chevy category, but is this still the VW that you have the question about?

All good. Can you tell me if OE or OEM pads were used, and if not did the pads that were used have the sensor built into the left inner pad?

That's important. If they were aftermarket pads without the built in wear sensor, than that light will stay on, unless you replace with other brake pads that include the sensor, or cut the sensor plug off of the old brake pad, twist the wires together to jumper them, and plug it in.

Detroit axle isn't an OEM manufacturer for VW. Textar, Jurid, Pagid, TRW are the typical OEM

You suggest I replace them immediately or disengage the sensor?

If the brakes are working well, I'd just jumper the sensor plug, if it were me.
