Vibration when brake stepped on at standstill, 2009 GU
Got a funny one for you folks.
This has happened to me several times, but today was just another episode, so thought I'd ask.
After a drive at high speed (in my case the ring road @ 100km/h) and then after slowing down to stand still (red lights / off-ramp). Every time I step on and off the brake, there is a vibration present. Cannot pin-point where it's coming from it's really unusual and very distinct, definitely not normal. It disappears after a short drive at lower speeds and/or if I'm standing there still for a while.
The 2 common denominators that I can think of every time it's happened are air con was on and day was warmish. I thought maybe the compressor each time it kicks in, but, only happens after a drive at speed as I mentioned above, it doesn't happen any other time.
Other than that the car is functional I don't lose any power or anything like that. Everything works as per usual.
My obvious suspect is air con. But I don't even know where to begin looking, and WHY it happens with the foot on the brake?
Any suggestions will be appreciated!
