Hi,
I bought a 2006 TT 4 months ago, have 14500 miles on it. When I go hard on the brakes on a down slope. I experience a jolt / vibration (automatic transmission). This is not very frequent, but not a very rare occurence too. Is anyone aware of this, I would appreciate if somebody can throw some light on this topic.

Apart from this issue I LOVE MY CAR

Thanks

Hrm, possibly would like more info, but from the little you have discribed so far it almost sounds like you are engaging your anti lock breaking system. Do any dash warning lights come on oris there any grinding or other sound occurring with this problem?

 

Does it feel like the tranny is slipping?
Reguardless, your car should still be under the factory warrentee. Take it to thedealer and let them pay for it.
There's nothing greater than sticking it to the man!

 

Yea get them while the getting is good because once your warrenty goes out your screwed!

 

Hmm a jolt when you slam on the brakes?[sm=interesting.gif]

I'd say either you've never experienced ABS or you have a random brake problem perhaps rotors. But yeah take it to the dealer let them figure it out while you can!

 

Sounds like you have some badass brakes!

 

Also warped rotors will also cause vibration, but will feel different from the anit lock brakes engaging. Really we need more information, or better yet take it to a shop if you can that will do a quick troubleshoot.

 

Thanks guys...

I dont see / hear anything different, it just happens in a very random fashion. I totally agree that the information that i provided do not really help, but thats what it is. I took it to the dealer, they said there seems to be no problem. I even drove one of their mechanics but in vain... the moment igot out of the dealership i experienced the jolt. Maybe it is the engaging of ABS, that sounds logical. Will keep posted as things progress.

I really appreciate all your efforts, thank you.

 

I also have a 180 FWD auto and experience the exact same problem! Its always at low speeds just before coming to a complete stop for me.

I took it into the dealer but they apparently could not get the car to do it. So they insist nothing is wrong. I was thinking that it could be a warped rotor..but its far too random, now I am thinking tranny. I would love some more info on what the dealer says about yours if/when you take it in again.

Keep me posted.

 

That's why you buy AWD manual TT's!!
