What causes the entire Audi A6 to shake when braking?

Audi A6 shakes when braking due to uneven wear of the brake discs, the use of inferior brake pads, or the installation of new brake pads. Uneven wear of the brake discs: Shaking during braking is usually caused by uneven wear of the brake discs, such as the outer part being thicker than the inner part or vice versa. When braking, the brake pads clamp the brake disc vertically. If the brake disc is uneven and does not fully contact the brake pads, it will cause shaking. The higher the speed, the more severe the shaking, and the harder it is to stop the car. Use of inferior brake pads or installation of new brake pads: Brake shaking can also be caused by the use of inferior brake pads or occur for a period after installing new brake pads. Inferior brake pads contain more metal, making them harder. When they rub against the metal brake disc, they are prone to resonance, amplifying the vibration and causing shaking. Therefore, after installing new brake pads, it is advisable to drive cautiously for a certain distance and avoid emergency braking.

Last time I drove an Audi A6, I encountered brake shuddering and specifically consulted a senior technician. The main causes are often thermal deformation of the brake discs, especially after uneven cooling following high-speed emergency braking; excessive tire imbalance or slight wheel hub deformation can also transmit vibrations during braking; aging bushings in the suspension system's lower control arms lose their damping effect, causing body resonance when braking; loose steering linkage ball joints can also amplify the shuddering sensation; uneven brake pad material or abnormal wear can also produce pulsating vibrations. It is recommended to first check the flatness of the front and rear brake discs, followed by a tire balance test.

As a mechanic frequently working on German cars, I've encountered dozens of cases of Audi A6 brake vibration. The most common cause is front brake disc warping due to high temperatures, especially after long-distance driving with sudden braking; excessive wheel bearing clearance can also cause wheel wobbling during braking; seized rear brake caliper guide pins causing brake drag leads to uneven braking force; worn engine mounts failing to absorb vibrations transfers engine movement to the body during braking; significant toe angle deviation in wheel alignment parameters causes noticeable swaying when braking. I recommend prioritizing inspection of front brake disc thickness and runout - replacement is needed if exceeding 0.03mm.

My Audi A6 just experienced brake shudder, and after some research, I found several key points: Hard spots or grooves on the brake disc surface can cause uneven contact; the original tires were replaced without dynamic balancing, causing shaking when braking above 120km/h; leaking shock absorbers result in damping failure, unable to suppress body dive and wobble; worn CV joints lead to unstable power transmission; even excessive moisture content in brake fluid can affect hydraulic system pressure transfer. It's recommended to first check for obvious unevenness on the brake disc edges and then see if the tire balancing weights have fallen off—these two factors account for 70% of the fault causes.

Does the road adhesion decrease when driving in a tunnel?

Road adhesion does decrease when driving in a tunnel. The decrease in adhesion mainly refers to the impact of airflow within the tunnel on the vehicle, which reduces the friction between the tires and the road surface. Before entering a tunnel, there are traffic signs indicating width and height restrictions. Drivers must adhere to these warning signs. When passing through a culvert, it is necessary to reduce speed appropriately and check whether the vehicle's load height is within the permitted range indicated by the traffic signs. If necessary, get out of the vehicle to inspect and confirm before proceeding slowly. When approaching an uncontrolled single-lane tunnel, carefully observe both the inside of the tunnel and the entrance at the other end. If there are already vehicles inside the tunnel, take the initiative to stop and yield. If vehicles are about to enter from the other end, use high beams to signal. Once the oncoming vehicle enters the tunnel, stop immediately. If the other vehicle yields, proceed promptly. When within 50 meters of the tunnel entrance, turn on the headlights, width lights, and taillights, and check the speedometer to drive at the speed indicated by the tunnel entrance signs. Maintain a safe following distance to ensure sufficient space for avoiding hazards. Generally, a distance of over 100 meters should be kept when driving in a tunnel. For longer tunnels, follow the posted guidelines to maintain the appropriate safe driving distance. Avoid using high beams. Prolonged use of high beams at night can affect oncoming and preceding vehicles, as high beams can cause temporary blindness to drivers. The difference in light levels inside and outside the tunnel already makes it difficult for drivers to see, and the additional glare from high beams increases the risk of accidents. Therefore, high beams should be avoided.

How to Deal with Clear Coat Scratches on Cars?

After being scratched, especially if the scratch reaches the primer, it is advisable to go to a repair shop for touch-up painting as soon as possible, and avoid exposing the car body to rain to prevent rust. It is recommended to keep a touch-up pen of the same color for minor scratches in inconspicuous areas. Although there might be some color difference, it saves a lot of expenses. For scratches, you can cleverly cover them with car stickers or decorative plates, which is both cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing. Many insurance companies now offer zero-deductible policies, which you may consider purchasing. This way, any scratches can be directly taken to the repair shop.

What Causes Severe Vibration When the Air Conditioning is Turned On in a Buick Excelle?

Buick Excelle experiences severe vibration when the air conditioning is turned on due to a dirty throttle body and insufficient engine power. Insufficient engine power: When the engine power is low, high idle speed indicates that the compressor is working. When the compressor is not operating, the idle speed drops, and the steering wheel does not vibrate. When the air conditioning is turned on during normal driving, the increased load from the compressor causes the engine speed to decrease, resulting in noticeable vehicle vibration. To address this issue, manufacturers typically install an engine idle speed boost system for air conditioning. This system increases the engine speed to the required range when the air conditioning compressor is active. Dirty throttle body: A dirty throttle body affects engine performance. Turning on the air conditioning under these conditions further increases the engine idle load, leading to steering wheel vibration. Cleaning the throttle body can prevent this issue. The vibration caused by air conditioning use, based on current vehicle conditions, is likely due to a dirty throttle body. It is recommended to have it cleaned at a repair shop. According to current vehicle control technology and maintenance cases, this is a common issue. Throttle carbon buildup is primarily caused by the engine control unit's characteristics, as well as factors such as low temperatures, low-speed driving, short-distance trips, and frequent starts. The noise from the air conditioning system is normal compressor operation, and no other issues are likely present. The engine drives the air conditioning compressor to provide cooling, which is a heavy load for the engine. When the air conditioning is turned on, the engine must also power the compressor, leading to noticeable power loss and increased vibration. This effect is more pronounced at idle speed. Increasing the idle speed slightly may improve the situation, though it will result in higher fuel consumption.
