What to Do When the Haima M6 Makes Abnormal Noises When Starting and Braking?
3 Answers
There are many reasons why the Haima M6 may produce abnormal noises when starting and braking. The relevant explanations are as follows: 1. The brake disc and brake pads are stuck together due to rust, causing abnormal noises: This usually occurs after driving in rainy weather or after the car has been parked for a long time. The brake disc and brake pads rust and stick together, resulting in abnormal noises when starting the car again. This issue can be resolved by applying butter or specialized lubricating oil to the connection between the brake pads and the brake caliper. 2. Abnormal noises when starting and braking in cold weather: Due to low temperatures, the rubber parts of the suspension become harder, and the surfaces of the brake disc and brake pads may also change, leading to abnormal noises when starting. The noises will disappear once the car warms up. 3. Excessive wear of the brake disc and brake pads causing abnormal noises: Both the brake disc and brake pads are high-wear components. Every time the brakes are applied, these two parts experience friction, leading to natural wear over time. When the wear becomes excessive, abnormal noises will occur, so regular inspection and replacement are necessary. Typically, brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers, while the brake disc should be replaced every 100,000 to 120,000 kilometers.
My Haima M6 also had the issue of strange noises when braking at startup. I guess it was a minor problem with the braking system. After being parked for a long time, the brake discs tend to rust, causing a squeaking sound when braking, which is particularly common in humid seasons. You can try driving a short distance gently and applying the brakes several times to wear off the rust—sometimes the noise disappears. If the sound persists, it might be due to uneven brake pad wear or debris stuck in the system. I would first check the thickness of the brake pads myself, but it's best to take it to a trusted repair shop for inspection, as brakes are crucial for driving safety. Last time I encountered this, cleaning them solved the problem, but don’t delay too long to avoid a small issue turning into a big one.
As a long-time owner of the Haima M6, I believe that brake noise is mostly caused by issues with the brake pads or discs. It could be due to dust or small stones stuck on the pads, or excessive edge wear leading to friction sounds. Brake noise when starting the car is common after the vehicle has been parked for a while, and I've encountered it multiple times. My suggestion is to find a safe spot, lift the front wheels with a jack, and use a flashlight to inspect the brake components for obvious rust or foreign objects. If everything looks fine, apply some specialized lubricant to the moving parts of the brake caliper. If the noise persists, it's best to visit a repair shop and have a technician use professional tools to diagnose the issue to prevent any decline in braking performance. Ignoring this minor issue could negatively impact your daily driving experience.
