What are the reasons for soft brakes?
1 Answers
As a crucial component for safe driving, brakes should be given special attention by every driver. Before each drive, it's advisable to test the working condition of the brake pedal. When the engine is not started, the brake pedal will feel very firm; after normal engine startup, the brake pedal will slightly sink. The reasons for soft brakes include the following: 1. Mixed brake fluid: Using different brands of brake fluid together can reduce braking performance. 2. Air in the brake fluid: The presence of unexpelled air in the brake fluid. 3. Oil leakage or poor sealing: Oil leakage in the master cylinder or wheel cylinders, or poor sealing. 4. Damaged outer packaging: Damage to the external casing of the brake lines.
