What causes a Renault's braking system failure preventing the car from starting?
1 Answers
Renault braking system failure preventing the car from starting can be attributed to the following reasons: Air in the system: If the brake pedal gradually rises and feels spongy when pressed repeatedly, but remains low after a brief pause, this indicates air in the braking system. In this case, the braking system should be bled. Excessive clearance: If one press of the brake pedal is ineffective but repeated presses yield good braking performance, this typically indicates excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive brake clearance. Adjust the pedal's free travel and then inspect the brake clearance, performing a brake overhaul if necessary. Brake malfunction: If the brake pedal feels firm and not soft, but braking performance is poor, this suggests a wheel brake issue, such as oil-contaminated brake shoes, poor contact, worn friction linings, or uneven brake drum wear. Inspect the brake's technical condition and perform adjustments or repairs as needed.
