Title: Car started to shake/judder
Post by: STV4R on July 05, 2015, 03:39:57 pm

On my way to work last night my car suddenly started to like shake/judder. I pulled over and had a look around the wheels and engine and everything looked ok. So I carried on down the motorway with this shaking/juddering, then after about 10mile it stopped and went back to normal...
Anyone experienced something similar or have any idea of what could cause this to happen?
I would have preffered it if it didnt stop shaking/juddereing at least it would be easier to diagnose

Thanks
Steve

What sort of conditions where you driving in buddy?
Did it get worse with speed increase at all???

Driving conditions were fine, nice dry warm day.
It seemed to be the same no matter what speed i was going. Even when i pulled over then started moving again it felt the same as when sitting at 70.

Think i've found what the problem is. After about 15 min of driving tonight i could smell like a burning smell so pulled over to have a look around the car.
Got round to the passenger side and heat from the front brake was unreal compared to the others. I put a light on it and could clearly see the pad was stuck to the disc and melting off the heat.
Luckily i just bought a S3 front brake setup off here  :smiley: so hopefully this is what the juddering was off.
