What Causes Soft Brakes in the Passat?
1 Answers
Passat soft brake causes: 1. Air in the brake fluid; 2. External rubber damage or bulging of the brake hose causing pressure leakage; 3. Oil leakage and poor sealing in the master cylinder and wheel cylinders; 4. Brake pad wear leading to longer braking distance. The working principle of brakes is to convert the kinetic energy of the car into frictional heat energy to dissipate it. Common brake systems include drum brakes and disc brakes. The Passat measures 4765 mm in length, 1765 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2803 mm. In terms of power, the Passat uses three engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
