What are the methods to eliminate brake disc noise in Skoda Octavia?
2 Answers
Skoda Octavia brake disc noise elimination methods are as follows: 1. Sharp squeaking noise during braking, this type of sound is normal and mainly related to the material of the brake pads. You can find a relatively safe road section, then perform emergency braking while driving (at a speed of about 40 mph), which can grind the hard spots on the brake pads. Repeating this several times will eliminate the noise. 2. Remove the brake pads and chamfer them, which will also effectively reduce the noise generated during braking. 3. Noise caused by rust on the brake pads or foreign objects rubbing in the brake discs can be resolved by replacing the brake discs or grinding off the rust on the brake pads during driving.
Brake disc noise is quite common on the Skoda Octavia. I've been driving this car for several years and have encountered this issue from time to time. The most common causes are worn brake pads or corrosion spots on the disc, which produce that annoying screeching sound. I've tried cleaning the disc surface myself, spraying brake cleaner and wiping it with a cloth. If that doesn't work, I check the thickness of the brake pads—if they're too thin, they need to be replaced. Additionally, loose or improperly installed components can also cause noise. Last time, I took it to a repair shop and had the mechanic tighten everything up, and it became much quieter. If the noise is high-pitched, it might be due to material friction, and switching to high-quality brake pads can help. If the noise persists, professional resurfacing or disc replacement may be necessary. It's important to pay attention to the brake system regularly and not wait until it becomes a serious issue, as it could affect driving safety. Whenever I encounter this situation, I first stop to check and ensure it's not a major problem before deciding on the next steps.
