braking

on the 25th of April last year, i had my brake pads changed. now a couple of days ago, i noticed the remaining level on my pads is extremely low and would require changing anytime now. also, i have this shuddering when braking from high speeds. popped past my local VW a few days ago, and...

Hello all. I am getting a knocking whilst I am braking. Or coming down a hill at 10 mph lightly braking. It doesn't matter if its in or out of gear etc. Took the wheel off and everything looked ok. No stones etc visible. Does not do it whilst driving just when braking. It had new discs and pads...

as above since i fitted my Suspension on saturday ive been having this slight clunking noise from the drivers side when i sharply at slow speed punch the pedal.. does anyone know what it could be...

Hello. There is another little problem. When i braking i feels like the car pull into the right and if I not touching stearing whell at that time I can see its turning right. And it seems to me that turn right its easyer than into the left. Any ideas???:))

Hi, Over the last couple of days been having problems with the brakes, at a decent speed they're ok but as you come to stop it feels as if the abs is cutting in and there's a grinding noise, also after a while the abs and the tc light comes on and stays on and the grinding stops until they're...

well my brakes on my 1.6 are gettin towards being changed in the next month or so and needles to say they are shocking so i've been looking at brakes and obvisly the first things im attracted to are brembos but there a too much money for me atm :( so i've had a look at what else there is out...

Hey guys, Had my winter check done by SEAT last week all came back fine apart from my rear tyre. But when braking, they make a grinding noise. It sounds like it's come from the back discs but could be front aswell. Any ideas? Sounds like after there has been rust on the discs from washing the...

hi , only had the car a few days and love it, but when braking gently at slow speeds the pedal vibrated and makes a strange noise does anyone know what it could be thanks

Hey peeps, Loving my Bocanegra, but one thing i wish I had was the sport brakes. Now I'm regretting not having that, I think the standard brakes are good but not good enough, I need more stopping power. Anyone know the options I have, I would like an upgrade to Brembo's or equivalent but I'd...

Howdy forumers!!! Just wondering about engine braking? Whenever i'm slowing down. Corners, junctions anything, i always use my engine to help me to slow down (thinking it'll help reduce the wear on brake pads) Scrooge!!! :shrug: Will this do any damage to my gearbox, engine or any...

as the thread title says. when i brake fairly sharp the steering wheel judders. anyone have a clue?

Considering I know nothing about cars, What does the intercooler... cool? I could google it but I thought I'd let someone explain, With that in mind I've done a few Brecon Beacon runs and yesterday I did a Shropshire run with Rebel Motorsport (fantastic as always.) The Brecon run was very...

Hello My 05 LCR goes very well but I am not so impressed with the brakes. The ones on my 01 Leon Sport seem much better. Initial bite is good but they are lacking when braking hard from high speed. The car has done 36k and is on its second set of front pads, these were fitted a seat main...

My girlfriend was coming off the motorway the other day and just as she was changing down from 5th to 4th gear when she put the clutch in the car slowed down rapidly (as if someone had put the handbrake on as she describes it), and smoke started coming from the steering column. The recovery guy...

Had this problem for a while now, was not so bad when i had the standard cupra brakes on, just put it down to the discs being old (had a big lip) and possibly warped. Since i put the brembos on it feel alot worse. Braking hard for a speed camera tonight on the way home and i was seriously...

hi as the title says bad creaking from front but its only when i brake heavy, or braking but then going over something like drain cover. it doesn`t do it when going over speed bumps or anything just under braking and its driving me mad. changed roll bar bushes and drop links today but not really...

i don't think im in a position to fork out for a full 312mm brake setup just yet, but wondering if theres another option to help me sort out my FR's under-par braking. Do i look at some EBC pads (green or red) and see if that makes a difference? Or has anyone done something diferent to improve?

i had a new anti roll bar and left and right track rod ends and new wish bone bushes now when i brake and turn right i get a clonking noise that is lound no one can say what it is with out looking but has anyone had the same or got any idea thanks dan

i keep getting a rather low pitched clunking noise sometimes when i pull away in first or when i brake at a slow speed i.e. if im just doing a couple of mph on the drive and then brake NOT constantly from from a steady 30mph for eg. It sometimes does it when turning at slow speed too and i...

How do all, Basically done my search as usual and nothing concrete from what i can see. Story goes, if i brake over bumps etc i got a wibbly knock, occasionally suspension over bumps sounds harsh, Am i right in thinkin that my ARB bushes need some attention? Bottom arms are relatively...
