What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Braking at Low Speed in a Jaguar?
2 Answers
Jaguar low-speed braking squeaking causes and solutions are as follows: New car, brake discs and pads are new: Therefore, they need to be worn in, which can cause braking noise. The noise can be divided into vibration friction and sharp hissing sounds. However, it will disappear after a few hundred kilometers. Solution: If the braking noise occurs in a new car, there is no need to worry about it. As long as the car does not pull to one side, the vehicle does not shake during emergency braking, and there is no deviation, it is fine. During sandstorm weather or in dusty conditions: At this time, sand or dust particles may enter between the discs and pads, causing a hissing noise when braking. Solution: Stomp on the brakes a few times, or ignore it, and the noise will disappear in a couple of days. Brake pads worn to the wear indicator: There is a hard point prompt, which causes a hissing sound. If the hissing noise persists for several days every time you brake, and it becomes louder and more frequent, it indicates that the brake pads are nearly worn out.
When I drive my Jaguar, I always hear a rattling noise when braking at low speeds, which is really annoying. Most of the time, this is likely due to rust on the brake discs, especially after the car has been parked in the garage overnight or during damp weather after startup. Temperature changes can cause the metal to contract and produce noise, which isn't a major issue—just step on the brakes a few times to wear off the rust. However, if the noise becomes increasingly louder or is accompanied by shaking, it might indicate excessive brake pad wear or a stuck caliper due to poor lubrication. My car had this issue before, and it was resolved after replacing the brake pads. I recommend checking if the wheels are overheating and visiting a repair shop promptly, as brakes are critical for safety and shouldn't be neglected. Regular maintenance of the braking system can prevent these minor issues.
