What causes the abnormal noise in the brakes of the Bora car?
2 Answers
The reasons for abnormal noise in the brakes of the Bora car are: 1. Noise caused by the running-in period of a new car; 2. Tiny sand particles entering between the brake pads and brake discs during driving, causing friction noise; 3. Missing or damaged fixing screws of the brake discs; 4. Malfunction in the brake system. The Bora is the first independently designed model under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4523mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1467mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2610mm. The car is equipped with the EA111 series 1.4TSI turbocharged engine, paired with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 96 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm.
When my Bora's brakes started making strange noises, I initially thought it was due to uneven roads, but the sound became increasingly harsh, squeaking when pressed. Upon inspection, I found that the brake pads were severely worn, almost completely worn out, causing the friction disc to make noise. It could also be that small stones or dust got stuck in the brake pads, or rust formed after rain, leading to the same issue. Ignoring it is not an option, as the braking distance will increase, and if the brakes fail in an emergency, it could be dangerous. I recommend going to a professional shop for a check-up. I tried cleaning them myself, but it didn’t help much—only replacing the new pads finally made them quiet. Safe driving shouldn’t be compromised; listen to changes in your car’s sounds and maintain it regularly to prevent problems. Be cautious when driving in areas with lots of gravel to avoid particles getting stuck.
