What Causes Abnormal Noise When Braking?

2 Answers

There are 6 main reasons for abnormal noise during braking: 1. Poor quality brake pads: Brake pads made of overly hard materials can produce abnormal noises during braking and may also damage the brake discs. It is necessary to replace them with original brake pads at an authorized 4S shop. 2. Foreign objects in the brake disc: When driving on complex road conditions, wheels can easily pick up and throw stones or other foreign objects. Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes can trap these objects between the brake pads and discs, causing noise during braking. These objects should be promptly removed. 3. Severe wear of the brake disc: Friction between the brake pads and an uneven brake disc can also produce abnormal noises. The brake disc should be replaced in time. 4. Severe wear of the brake pads: After prolonged use, brake pads thin out due to continuous friction. Excessively thin brake pads not only reduce braking efficiency but also harden, leading to noise during braking. Replace the brake pads promptly. 5. Rust on the brake disc: Years of exposure to weather can cause the brake disc to rust. Applying the brakes several times can wear off the rust layer. 6. Improper installation: Loose or incorrectly installed components can also cause abnormal noises.

I haven't been driving for long, and recently there's been a screeching sound when braking, like the sharp noise of metal rubbing. This worries me a lot because in city traffic, if the brakes fail, it could be dangerous. I've looked into it and found that common causes could be that the brake pads are worn very thin, causing the metal backing to rub directly against the brake disc, creating noise; or that dust, small stones, or rust have built up on the brake disc, especially after rain or if the car has been parked outside for a long time. Newly replaced brake pads sometimes make noise during the break-in period, but this usually goes away after driving for a while. I recommend stopping the car immediately and doing a quick check yourself, but if you're not sure what to do, it's best to take it to a professional repair shop for inspection and replacement. The braking system is a matter of life and death, so don't delay.

What is the speed range for 1st gear?

The speed control range for 1st gear in a car is 0 to 15 kilometers per hour. 1st gear is mainly used for starting the car or climbing slopes and is not suitable for prolonged use. The matching method for other manual transmission gears and speeds is as follows: 1. 2nd gear is used for 15 to 25 kilometers per hour: This speed can be used when turning and in some special weather conditions. 2. 3rd gear is used for 25 to 35 kilometers per hour: This speed can be used when passing through intersections or on roads with gentle slopes. 3. 4th gear is used for 35 to 40 kilometers per hour: 4th gear is considered a normal driving speed and can be used when there are relatively more vehicles on the road. 4. 5th gear is used for speeds above 40 kilometers per hour: 5th gear is typically used as the normal driving speed, and on well-paved roads, the speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator.

Can You Suffocate from Sleeping in a Car with the Windows Closed?

Sleeping in a car with the windows closed will not cause suffocation. Below is relevant information about automotive safety: 1. Active Safety: Active safety refers to the ability to control and maneuver a vehicle as smoothly as possible. Whether it's braking and accelerating in a straight line or making turns, the vehicle should operate smoothly without deviating from the intended path and without compromising the driver's visibility or comfort. Such a vehicle naturally has a higher capacity to avoid accidents, especially in emergency situations, ensuring safety. The active safety system generally includes the following components. 2. Safe Driving: It should be noted that automotive safety is increasingly becoming a comprehensive consideration, with both active and passive safety systems tending to integrate. Experts remind us that, apart from the vehicle itself, poor driving habits can make the driver unsafe and even prevent safety features from functioning as intended. Examples include not wearing seat belts, drunk driving, and speeding—if an accident occurs, it has nothing to do with the vehicle's safety features. Therefore, safety awareness is the key to safe driving.

What is the battery model for Volkswagen car keys?

The battery models are CR2016 and CR2025. These are lithium manganese dioxide batteries, named according to IEC standards. The naming convention is as follows: C - Indicates a chemical battery system with lithium metal as the negative electrode and manganese dioxide as the positive electrode; R - Indicates the battery shape is cylindrical (if square, F is used instead); 20 - Indicates the battery diameter is 20mm; 25 - Indicates the battery height is 2.5mm. The nominal voltage is 3.0V, endpoint voltage is 2.0V, and rated capacity ranges between 140-170mAh. CR2025 typically has a lifespan of 5 years. If the manufacturer's production standards are low or quality control is poor, the lifespan may be significantly shortened. Domestic first-tier brand batteries can generally guarantee this lifespan. Under ideal conditions (sealed, room temperature, no moisture interference), the lifespan may extend to 8 years or even 10 years. The usage time of car remote key batteries is closely related to frequency of use - the more frequently used, the shorter the lifespan. When the remote key battery is depleted, the mechanical key can be used directly to unlock and start the vehicle. Car remote keys use button batteries, primarily three types: CR2016, CR2025 and CR2032. For specific models used in each vehicle, owners can refer to the battery model specified in the user manual for replacement. Button-type CR2016 battery: This is one of the most commonly used car remote batteries. The battery voltage is 3V, while most car keys operate on 9V power, requiring replacement of all three batteries simultaneously. Used by brands like Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda etc. CR2016 specifications: 20mm diameter, 1.6mm thickness. Button-type CR2025 battery: Its usage rate is much lower than CR2016, but still used by some car keys. Thicker than CR2016 but with relatively higher storage capacity. CR2025 specifications: 20mm diameter, 2.5mm thickness. Also commonly used in audio remotes. Button battery CR2032: Also 3V voltage but with about 200mAh capacity, making it twice as thick as CR2016. The 3V-CR2032 lithium manganese battery has lithium-manganese dioxide structure. The positive electrode uses chemically stable manganese dioxide, negative electrode uses lithium metal, with lithium battery electrolyte composed mainly of dimethoxyethane, propylene carbonate and lithium perchlorate. Shaped like a button, hence called button lithium battery or lithium manganese button battery. Button battery CR2450: Relatively thicker and larger than the other three models, with 24.5mm diameter and 5.0mm height. The rated current value is 0.2mA, mainly used in low-power electronic products. Generally can provide output current from 0.001mA to 5mA, with continuous output up to 15mA and pulse output up to 30mA, meeting requirements for lighting, sound, RF output etc. in most small electronic devices.

Can You Still Drive When the Exhaust Controller's Yellow Light Is On?

You can still drive when the engine warning light (yellow) is on, but you should get it checked as soon as possible. The engine fault signal is issued by the ECU (Engine Control Unit), which controls all electronic components of the engine, including the electronic throttle, fuel injectors, alternator, fuel pump, etc., covering systems such as intake, exhaust, fuel, ignition, and timing. If the engine fault light is on, it is essential to have it inspected at a nearby repair shop. Most modern vehicles are equipped with two oxygen sensors, located before and after the catalytic converter, and the faulty one should be identified and replaced promptly. Generally, there are three main reasons why the exhaust controller's abnormal light may illuminate: 1. Code Fault: A fault code is reported, but the system operates normally. This could be due to an operation that temporarily exceeded the ECU's control range. The fault code can be cleared first, and then you can check if it reappears. 2. Intake Pressure Sensor Fault: Based on ECU diagnostics and further inspection, a fault may be detected that does not significantly affect normal driving or has minimal impact. This indicates an issue with the intake pressure sensor, which should be addressed promptly. 3. Oxygen Sensor Fault: If driving is severely affected, causing abnormal engine operation, this is likely due to an oxygen sensor problem, requiring immediate repair.

What does it feel like to change from 195 to 205 tires?

Many car owners who have changed from 195 to 205 tires report that the car feels more stable, with no significant improvement in handling, increased fuel consumption, and some loss of power. Things to note: After widening the tread, it is necessary to check whether the tires will rub against the fenders. If they do, you need to switch back, otherwise there will be certain safety hazards. Advantages and disadvantages of changing from 195 to 205 tires: 1. Advantages: Changing from 195 to 205 tires essentially widens the tire tread. A wider tire can indeed provide better grip performance and lateral force, which greatly helps with vehicle stability. Even during aggressive driving or sharp turns, you can have sufficient driving confidence. 2. Disadvantages: At the same time, due to the increased contact area, the friction coefficient is relatively higher, which can affect the car's fuel economy and even result in louder noise at high speeds. Therefore, to achieve more balanced tire performance, it is best to choose the optimal tire width that corresponds to the wheel hub.
