What is the solution for soft brakes on the BAIC Huansu S3?
2 Answers
It is necessary to check whether the brake pads and brake discs are excessively worn and whether the brake fluid needs to be replaced. After inspection, perform the corresponding replacements. Brake pads or brake discs should be replaced promptly. Additionally, it is essential to check for internal leaks in the brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders.
When I drove the BAIC Huansu S3 before, I encountered the issue of soft brakes, feeling like the pedal had no power, which was particularly dangerous at high speeds. My solution was to first check the brake fluid reservoir. If the fluid level was low or the color had turned black, it indicated the need to replace the brake fluid. Next, I bled the air from the system by having a friend press the pedal while I loosened the bleeder screw on the wheel to let the air escape. If there was no improvement, I then checked the brake pads for wear and replaced them if they were thin, which only cost around a few dozen yuan. Remember to perform regular maintenance, changing the brake fluid every two years to prevent aging and air ingress. This method is simple and cost-effective, allowing me to save on repair costs by doing it myself, but improper operation can be risky, so beginners are advised to seek help from a professional shop. By the way, soft brakes could also be due to issues with the master cylinder or wheel cylinders. If there are unusual noises or fluid leaks, it might cost some money to repair or replace, but timely action can prevent accidents. In short, by troubleshooting step by step from a DIY perspective, you can identify the root cause.
