When I brake reasonable hard using the front brake, the VARADERO brake system has a bit of a bite/let go/bite let go/.... lowish frequency pulsating braking action. This is not felt when braking gently. There is no ABS fitted. but I've felt ABS and the frequency of that vibartion is much higher.

I've now been told that this is due to the link between the front and the rear brake and that this is normal.

Boertjie thinks it is the same problem felt before in LOVY's jetta when the disc was slightly warped due to overheating or something like that.

Can the techies or other Varadero owners please assist. Is this normal and if not, what do I do about it?

Boertjie wonder!
