Reasons Why the Brake Pedal of Volkswagen Lavida Cannot Be Depressed?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida's brake pedal cannot be depressed due to reasons such as air leakage in the car's vacuum booster valve. Reasons and solutions for the brake pedal being hard to depress: The car's vacuum booster pump is leaking or malfunctioning. The force applied to depress the brake pedal is amplified by the brake booster pump. If the pump fails, the brake loses its assist, making it difficult to depress; it is necessary to check if the vacuum tube is leaking, and replace it if leakage is found; pressing the brake after the engine is turned off also relates to the brake booster pump. The brake booster pump only continuously generates vacuum when the engine is running. When the engine is off, it relies solely on the residual vacuum assist. The brake pedal might be blocked by the floor mat, preventing it from being depressed, in which case the mat should be removed; a damaged brake booster pump can also prevent the brake from being depressed, requiring replacement of the booster pump. Precautions for the brake pedal: During emergency braking, hold the steering wheel with both hands and avoid single-handed operation. The free travel of the brake pedal directly affects braking time and distance. Therefore, always check if the brake pedal's free travel is appropriate before driving. Braking actions should be swift. If the vehicle skids, release the brake pedal, but quickly correct the steering wheel. Avoid emergency braking during high-speed turns; instead, apply brakes appropriately before turning, maintain straight-line braking as much as possible, and control the turning speed. For braking at medium-low speeds or when shifting gears, press the clutch pedal before the brake pedal. For braking at medium-high speeds or above, press the brake pedal before the clutch pedal.
