What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Reversing in a Volkswagen Bora?
1 Answers
There are several main reasons for brake squeaking: 1. Metal hard spots on the brake pads. There may be small metal particles inside the brake pads, which produce a sharp, piercing sound when the brakes are lightly applied. This issue can be resolved by forcefully applying the brakes several times, removing and sanding the brake pads, or replacing them with higher-quality ones. 2. Severe wear on the brake pads triggering the warning system. Brake pads usually have warning indicators. When the pads wear down to their limit, the warning indicator rubs against the brake disc, creating a sharp metal friction sound. At this point, it is crucial to replace the brake pads promptly to avoid damaging the brake disc and potential brake failure.
