My D3 has developed an unpleasant vibration through the steering wheel under braking down from about 50-60 mph. Seems worse when going downhill if anything.
Any ideas on where I might look first for a fix? (Recognise it might be a number of things). '06 TDV6 HSE, Java, Black Leather, Logic 7, Privacy, Steps

Mine was similar, was the calper sliders seized one side and a sticking calliper piston the other.
Remove and clean all corners as this costs nothing and removes one potenrtial cause.

Forgot to mention, once brakes removed from the equation, check disc wear and if OK, you are probably into arm bushes worn.

Could be any of the following
Out of balance wheel
Warped brake discs
Sticking calipers as previously mentioned
Track rods (inner joints)
Bushes
A long shot could be ABS kicking in (mismatched tyre pressures can cause this)

before you start - is it under gentle or hard braking.
If gentle but vibration reduces if you press the brake pedal harder - front discs warped
