I got new pads/rotor's recently for my front brakes, after a few weeks now when I apply a small amount of presure on the pedal(Slow breaking) I can feel a bit of chatter. Under heavy/firm braking cant feel any chatter.

But the main issue is when I drive in slow traffic or slow at an intersection,I apply the brake, I get to nearly the stop position and just before the car stops I get a vibration in the pedal, I can also hear a noise from the front left wheel when it hapens (similar to the feeling you get in the pedal when ABS kicks in).
If I stop firmly/moderatly to a halt at an intersection it dosnt hapen, only under light breaking?

Anyone else had this, mabe early stages of a sticking caliper or something???

Thanks in advance..

ABS is kiciking in. Clean the wheel speed sensors.

saying it was the abs modual malfunction so i pulled the fuses 3 years ago and just been with out since then .. even had 4 days on track and works great.. only you have the abs and brake light always on.. i dont even notice it anymore..

Yup, rattling knocking & chattering up to every stop sign.
Sunday morning job this weekend to clean the sensors, all advice seems to point in that direction. Will be most disapointed if it's a little more serious.

Ill clean the wheel speed sensors and see what hapens, is it fairly easy to do so???

Thanks for the quick response before guys.

It was the front left sensor I VAG'ed it and there was a stlight variation in latency between that one and the rest of them , so I pulled out the sensor, cleaned it and its all working fine now.

Thanks for the help
