Brake Judder - sorted but lesson learnt!
For a while now my surf has had a bad judder under sudden braking at speed. Felt just like warped discs. Had the opportunity to do the 6monthly service at the weekend and changed the pads, shoes, oil and filters.
Found that the front pads were evenly worn and didn't need changing however I did find that the left side calliper wasn't moving all 4 pots. Pulled both callipers out onto the bench and found some rust on the left pots. Cleaned them up exercised both callipers to ensure smooth operation and refitted and bled.
Brakes are now great. Best they have ever been. No judder at all. Moral of the story is check the pots every pad change and especially before replacing the discs.
Cheers
