What Causes the Brake Noise in Magotan?
3 Answers
Magotan brake noise is caused by: 1. Uneven hardness of the brake disc, resulting in an uneven surface of the brake pads; 2. When releasing the brake pedal, at the critical point between power and braking force, friction between the brake pads and the brake disc produces noise; 3. The brake pad gap is too small. Taking the Magotan 2020 330TSI DSG Leading Edition as an example, this car is classified as a mid-size sedan, equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and has a 4-door, 5-seat sedan body type. It has a top speed of 210 km/h, a maximum torque of 320 Nm, and dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2871mm.
I've driven many cars and encountered brake noise issues. For the Magotan model, common causes fall into several categories: First, small stones or impurities on the brake pads causing friction, especially after rain when dirt gets thrown into the wheels; second, rust or uneven wear on the brake disc surface, resulting in a creaking sound when the pads grip; third, the brake pad material might be too hard or improperly installed, leading to uneven friction; if air enters the brake system or there's insufficient brake fluid, a slight hissing sound may occur during operation; newly replaced brake pads may also make noise for a few days during the break-in period, which is normal. Such issues affect safety and should never be ignored. I recommend promptly visiting a professional shop for a comprehensive inspection, as regular maintenance can prevent them. Before long-distance driving, it's best to conduct a simple self-check, such as lightly pressing the brakes to listen for the source of the noise, ensuring reliable braking in critical moments.
Once when I was on a business trip driving my Magotan, the brakes kept squeaking. I later found out it was because the brake pads had worn down to the limit, triggering the warning indicator. Common causes for new car owners also include aged and thinned brake discs, uneven surfaces, or hard spots on the brake pads causing friction, especially noticeable when the car has been parked for a long time and rust accumulates. Here’s some safety advice I’d like to share: Don’t rush into long-distance driving; first, listen to identify whether the noise is coming from the front or rear wheels to diagnose the issue. Sometimes, simply cleaning the dust and grime from the brake components can solve the problem. Long-term neglect may lead to the risk of brake failure, so whenever you notice unusual noises, make time to visit a repair shop to avoid issues on the road. For regular maintenance, opt for high-quality parts to minimize such troubles. Driving safety should always come first—never ignore problems out of laziness.
