How to Solve the Abnormal Noise When Starting and Braking in Lavida?
2 Answers
Lavida starting and braking abnormal noise solutions are: 1. Replace the brake pads; 2. Replace the brake discs; 3. Clean the brake discs; 4. Clean the brake calipers; 5. Refill the brake fluid. Lavida is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of: length 4670mm, width 1806mm, height 1474mm, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. Lavida is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. Its drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using torsion beam non-independent suspension.
With over a decade of car repair experience, I can say the most common cause of abnormal noise during Lavida's initial braking is issues with brake pads and discs. New cars may have hard spots on brake pads, which usually disappear after the break-in period; for older vehicles, it's often due to worn brake pads where the metal warning indicator scrapes against the disc. Rusty brake discs after rainy days are also common – a few hard brakes usually solve this. Another possibility is small stones stuck between brake pads and calipers, or insufficient lubrication of guide pins causing poor retraction. If the noise disappears after driving, it's generally not a concern. But if the noise occurs with every start accompanied by brake vibration, visit a repair shop immediately – don't compromise safety. Regularly rinsing brake components during car washes can reduce the chance of foreign object entrapment.
