What Causes the Brake Noise in Volkswagen New Bora?
1 Answers
Reasons for brake noise in Volkswagen New Bora: 1. Brake disc break-in period: Whether it's a new car's brakes or newly installed brake discs, during the initial use, because they haven't yet matched well with the brake pads, sharp abnormal noises may occur during hard or emergency braking. This is actually a normal phenomenon and not a malfunction. During the break-in period of the brake discs, try to avoid hard and emergency braking as much as possible. The braking performance of new brake discs will also be compromised before the break-in period is over. 2. Continuous hard braking: When driving with continuous hard braking, thermal fade may occur. The two specific manifestations of thermal fade are significantly reduced braking force and the appearance of sharp noises not usually heard, known as abnormal noise. This is a very normal performance when brake thermal fade occurs and does not indicate a brake malfunction. The abnormal noise will disappear as the thermal fade dissipates. 3. Excessive wear of brake pads: When the brake pads wear to the critical point, the thickness warning iron sheet on the brake pads will directly rub against the brake disc, causing unusually harsh noises. This situation indicates that the brake pads have worn excessively and must be replaced. If not replaced, the enormous noise will be unbearable, and there will also be a significant decrease in braking force, increasing safety hazards. 4. Excessive wear of brake discs: Not only can excessive wear of brake pads cause abnormal noise, but excessive wear of brake discs can also lead to this problem. When the thickness of the brake disc is below the critical point, the metal edge surrounding the brake disc will come into direct contact with the brake pads, not only causing loud abnormal noises but also potentially leading to brake failure, severe body shaking, and other issues.
