Basically when i touch the brakes the steering wheel shakes and the car shudders. Bit annoying but if i put alot of pressure on the brakes it doesnt shudder, but i nearly go through the windscreen...

Anyone help?

had this a couple of weeks ago,

check your brakes and suspension arm bushes,

both needed changing on mine,

the front right caliper was working, but the left had seized up, and the suspension bushes were on the verge of being worse than useless tbf, changed the discs and pads (they were shagged anyway) freed the left caliper up, changed the bushes and problem solved :)

tracking, is the first option id get checked, Just give the front suspension struts a tighten and see how it is,

Thats my help :)

yeah i forgot the obvious one lol

As I'm absolutely useless, they are under the bonnet yeah? I think i know where they are, but just incase i get the wrong thing..

And thats the thing, my discs and pads are fine... BUT some dickhead decided to round off the bolt to get them off. So I'm fucked basically, is it gunna have to be a garage jobby?

get tracking checked.

I also get this and had my tracking done today. Not really had the opportunity to check if this has resolved it, but the tracking was WELL out!!!! Drivers side was actually off the laser gauge!!!!!!

My brother also said it could be warped discs.

I'll check my bushes etc but surely this would cause a knocking noise if the bushes were shot????

yeah there's a knocking noise when it comes to bushes, mine were that bad i could go round bends without steering, just had to either brake to go left or put my foot down to go right! lol

I think my brakes are warped TBH. It's got EBC greenstuffs on atm so probably gonna go for red stuffs and some sexy new discs!

Not too sure.

I've always liked the ATE Powerdiscs and had them on most of my previous VAG cars.

With the right tools and knowledge, you can remove the rounded bolt yourself. Other than that, I'd go to a garage and get them to sort it.

Its an allen bolt isn't it? If so, get the removable allen attatchements you get in socket sets, and a 7mm hex socket. Then put the allen piece UPSIDE DOWN into the socket. But first, hammer the allen bit into the bolt, then attatch to the wrench with 7mm socket on

The thicker end ( the end that usually goes into the allen socket attatchment) of the allen piece will just about squeeze into the bolt head with some hammer action, and grip it nicely. Then its a case of WD40 dowsing, and have a crack at it
