    Since the rotor are a chunk of gray cast iron, I think what is happening is that the pad material that gets deposited on to the surface of the rotor is glazing with the heat - are you finding that the pads are also glazed in these instances?
    And what have you done, afterwards? Replaced them?

    I'd hazard a guess your bushes in the back may be shot. I had a similar issue in my old starlet. Replaced bushes and it didn't move around so much under brakes.

    If they are, then they'll be replaced on warranty since the car is so new!!

    It really did feel like what happens with too much preload on the rear of a motorcycle or when you brake hard enough to get the rear off the ground (and I severely doubt the Polo was doing that).

    So does the MKIV jetta/golf kit fit our 9n polos? All 9n/3 engines can use the same kit, the g60 kit right?
