VT Calais.
Hi, new member...thanks for having me!
Just bought my son a 97 VT Calais W/125000km.
The car is great but has a few issues:
1. Brake shudder on takeoff.
You stop at the lights and take your foot off the brake, and the brakes will shudder for a split second before the car moves off....weird, I know!
2. HEEEAVY power steering at low speeds. I know power steering is heavier at low speed, but this is like it doesent have PS at all. The owner actually thought it didn't, lol. Pump is not leaking, could this just be low fluid?
Any help appreciated!

The brake shudder issue could be a caliper slider pin seized....Grease them all to eliminate that as being the cause
