Title: Corsa braking issue,brake pedal judder
Post by: Varche on 28 October 2015, 09:26:12
Did a bit of ambulance chasing yesterday. Scarborough hospital to Hull hospital. Needless to say the ambulance won by five minutes.

It was the first time I had really pasted the car since we got it. Under heavy braking there is a disconcerting juddering which feels as though the ABS is trying to operate.

It doesn't pull to one side, no wheels locking up. I wonder if it is a warped disc?  The brake pads had plenty of life in them 300 miles ago.

The front end anti lock brakes on our corsa is rather keen to kick in.
Especially if the roads are damp / shockers are weak and the cars is being chucked about a tiny bit.

Thanks for the replies. I think it is a mix of a warped disc and the ABS. The discs aren't shot but are cheap enough. I'll get VX ones put on when I have a slot. You are right about the ABS. I had a play with it in the wet yesterday on the empty Yorkshire wold roads.

Thanks for the offer. I did have my mum there but she died on Wed night when I went out to put more money on the car parking. Managed to register the death today so won,t be going again.
