How to solve the brake noise issue in Sagitar?
2 Answers
The solution to the brake noise issue in Sagitar is to grind the edges of the brake pads to avoid friction between the brake pads and the groove edges. The Sagitar measures 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan with a 5-speed manual transmission and a top speed of 200 km/h. The car is equipped with a 1.2T L4 engine, featuring turbocharged intake, a maximum horsepower of 116ps, and a maximum torque of 175nm. It adopts front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving my Sagitar for many years and have gotten used to checking brake noises myself. Most of the time, it's because the brake pads are too worn or too hard, which tends to cause that squeaky sound after driving a few kilometers. Another common situation is when the brake discs rust a bit after rain, making a clunking sound after a few presses. The simplest solution is to wipe the brake discs with a wet towel to remove rust after parking, or just drive to a car wash to rinse off the mud underneath. If that doesn't work, it's time to check if the brake pads need replacing. I keep a set of tools handy to check the thickness—if it's less than 5mm, it's time for new ones. Never ignore it—my neighbor once had a minor accident because of this. Regular checks of the brake system during maintenance can prevent a lot of trouble. Also, the Sagitar's brake system design tends to accumulate dust, so cleaning around the tires periodically helps too.
