What Causes the Increased Free Travel of the MG6 Brake Pedal?
1 Answers
The reasons for the increased free travel of the MG6 brake pedal: 1. Insufficient brake fluid pressure (due to lack of oil in the brake master cylinder, brake pipe rupture, oil pipe joint leakage, or oil circuit blockage). 2. Air in the brake system. 3. Excessive free travel of the brake pedal or excessive brake clearance, poor contact of the brake shoe friction plate, severe wear, or oil contamination. 4. Wear or damage to the brake master cylinder, wheel cylinder piston and cylinder pipe, or aging and damage of the belt. 5. Apart from the brake fluid, the condition of the brake disc and brake pads is another major cause of increased brake pedal travel. As the thickness of the brake pads and brake disc decreases, the brake fluid level may also continuously drop. As the brake fluid, which transmits force, requires greater compression to achieve better brake response, the brake pedal travel naturally becomes longer.
