Re: Why is my Megane 'Shuddering' when I brake

Update: We took the car over and they kept it for a couple of days while they put new break pads on the front. This seemed to do the trick for a month or so but the shuddering is now back and seems worse than before. Does that mean they put cheap ones on and they have worn or do the back ones need d...

Hi, I recently bought a 54 plate Megane and am still within the 3 months warranty that the garage gave with the car. I've noticed that when I slow down from a speed of around 50+ the car seems to shudder. It's not the ABS and it doesn't come through the steering wheel, it seems to be the whole car t...
