What Causes the Brake Noise in a New Sagitar?
1 Answers
Reasons for brake noise in Volkswagen Sagitar: 1. If it's a sharp screeching sound, first check if the brake pads are nearly worn out (the warning indicator is making noise). If the pads are new, inspect for any foreign objects caught between the brake disc and pads. 2. If it's a dull sound, it's mostly an issue with the brake caliper, such as worn sliding pins or detached spring plates. 3. If it's a hissing sound, the problem could be more complex, involving the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads. 4. If the noise is continuous, first check for dragging brakes. Poor caliper retraction can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pads, leading to noise under certain conditions. Also, inspect for any foreign objects stuck between the pads and disc. If the pads are new, check if the brake disc has grooves, as localized friction can cause noise. If the disc is fine, consider whether the brake pads are too hard or if the noise-dampening shims are incorrectly installed.
