Afternoon all
I chipped by mk4 fr 130 tdi a while back to add a few more phonies. Very happy with that however the other day someone pulled out of a junction that forced me to slam the brakes on. The results were worrying. Didnt crash but the brakes were terrible. The abs was shuddering away but very little shopping was taking place.
Im useless with the technical side of things but i have a feeling by brakes are old and frozen up or something. My wifes mitsubishi colt stops faster.
It passed mot and had new pads in, so not sure what to do.
I was thinking of just upgrading anyway just for reasurance. Can anyone shed some light or recommend mid/ high end full brake replacements and any ideas of costs would be ace.
Cheers in advance
