Seat Leon Brake problem at less than 5mph
Discussion
I need some help with this issue on my sisters car. It is a 2001 Seat Leon 1.6 with approx 90k miles.
Basically, when braking at low speeds, i.e. less than 5mph there is a brake judder, almost like the ABS kicking in, so it feels like the brake pedal is kicking up. They have had someone local to them check it out and they have been charged £75 for a diagnostic which found nothing.
When braking at anything above 5 or 10mph it is totally fine, its only when coming to a stop that the ABS kicks in.
The garage have told them that for further checks and an electronic reset it will cost an additional £90+. The car has been costing them a lot recently and so I am trying to find possible solutions to the problem.
Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be here? The garage have suggested that it might be one of the rings missing, I'm assuming he is talking about the count as the wheel turns. This might make the ABS think the wheel has locked. However it does not explain why it only happens at low speed.
Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
