What are the symptoms of a damaged brake master cylinder in the Wuling Zhiguang?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a damaged brake master cylinder in the Wuling Zhiguang include a soft brake pedal feel when pressed, primarily due to poor sealing between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders; brake failure, where a sudden loss of braking force is felt during braking, usually caused by insufficient brake fluid or oil leakage from the master cylinder; delayed return of the brake pedal; and when the vehicle is parked, after pressing the pedal several times consecutively, the pedal returns to its original position without gradually decreasing. The braking system consists of the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, vacuum booster, brake pads, and brake discs. If you notice any issues with the brakes while driving, you should pull over promptly and check for oil leaks or excessively high temperatures in the brake discs. If any of these symptoms are present, it is advisable to call for a tow truck. Symptoms of a damaged wheel cylinder: Deterioration in braking performance, with noticeably longer braking distances; delayed return causing continuous friction of the brake pads, leading to temperature rise and thermal fade; brake pull, where the vehicle veers significantly when braking, which may indicate a faulty wheel cylinder; and loud abnormal noises during braking. Symptoms of a damaged brake booster: Noticeably heavier brake pedal feel; abnormal noises during braking; significantly longer brake pedal travel with reduced effective braking distance.
