I have been getting a problem when braking in my GSI. When i brake i get the feeling through the car of the front brakes coming on and off slighty. I have had new discs and pads cause i thought it may be warped discs, but still getting the problem. Has anyone any ideas ? cheers.

Did you clean the discs well b4 fitting them, as they come with a coating, which would cause it to do that.

have cleaned discs today, no change.
Have changed front offside caliper about 2 months ago, could the nearside cause be causing the problem ??

If its a gsi calliper it shouldnt have that problem as far as i know.
Have u tried bleeding the brakes? And made sure ther is no leaks.

Don't believe anything i say!!!!!

the grease still burns up and drys out, if u fitted a new on this will be working much better then the old one, so re grease the old one :D
