How often should the brake discs of Haval H6 be replaced?
2 Answers
Haval H6 brake discs should be replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Here is more information about brake discs: 1. A brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. When the brakes are applied, the brake calipers clamp onto the brake disc to slow down or stop the vehicle. 2. Disc brakes have better heat dissipation than drum brakes, making them less prone to brake fade and failure during continuous braking. 3. The thermal expansion of brake discs in the thickness direction is minimal, so heating does not significantly increase the brake pedal travel. 4. Disc brake systems respond quickly and can perform high-frequency braking actions, making them more suitable for ABS system requirements. 5. Disc brakes do not have the friction-boosting effect of drum brakes, resulting in more balanced braking force between the left and right wheels. Additionally, disc brakes have better water drainage, reducing the likelihood of poor braking due to water or mud.
I've been driving a Haval H6 for over three years, and brake disc replacement isn't on a fixed schedule—it mainly depends on usage. Generally, it's recommended to inspect them every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. However, if you frequently drive in mountainous areas or heavy traffic with sudden braking, wear can accelerate, possibly requiring replacement before 60,000 km. During routine maintenance, ask the mechanic to measure the brake disc thickness with calipers. If it's below the manufacturer's recommended value (usually under 2 mm), it's time for new discs; otherwise, braking may weaken, increasing the risk of skidding or accidents. Also, pay attention to unusual noises while driving or vibrations felt through the brake pedal—these are signs to get them checked. I recommend developing a habit of regular maintenance, such as biannual inspections, because safety outweighs saving money. Don’t forget to inspect brake pads and brake fluid when replacing discs—only a healthy overall system ensures stable driving.
