Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.
Make certain your kiddo has GOOD brakes and tires.
I mean I hit 90k miles before I needed pads on a chevy colorado so...
I have a 13 year old Chevy Volt with 173,000 miles still on its original brakes.
Well, the brake pads aren't stock - I've replaced them a few times.
Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.
I have had the Tiguan SEL Turbo for a few weeks now. I was reversing out of a parking spot and the brakes locked up thinking something was behind me. Not a soft brake, I thought I backed up into someone. No car or person there? Did it twice and never again.
1950 brakes weren't very good even when they were new.
New Beetles are definitely underrated. They do have some weak points though. The Turbo S brakes are barely adequate for touge.
I just got the blazer ev, and within a month the brakes (pedal, not actual brakes) start making noise every time I pushed on them and the wind noise increased.
