Juddering through the brake pedal? Then yeah it will likely be the brake discs are warped, i had the same problem last year i didnt replace my brake pads even though people say you should when replacing the discs, that was 10 months ago still using the same pads lol but might be even one of your brake pads not in the right postion came loose.

Re: Punto Mk2 Brakes Juddering

if there vented disks they can have this afect when thin

you don't need to change brake pads when they are still plenty thick when you change disks

but you do need to flat them with some sand paper to make sure they don't wear the disks unevenly
