What to Do When the Rapid Spaceback Makes Abnormal Noise When Starting and Braking?
2 Answers
The Rapid Spaceback makes abnormal noise when starting and braking. If the noise is a hissing sound, there could be multiple issues, such as problems with the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads. If the noise is continuous, first check if there is any brake drag. Poor caliper resetting can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pads, leading to abnormal noise under certain conditions. Also, check if there are any foreign objects stuck between the pads and the disc. The Rapid Spaceback is a model under SAIC Volkswagen Skoda, with body dimensions of 4304mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1475mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2603mm. In terms of exterior design, the Rapid Spaceback features a family-style vertical waterfall grille, maintaining a dynamic and sporty overall style. It offers 14-inch steel wheels, as well as 15-inch and 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels as options.
My Skoda Rapid makes strange noises when I step on the brakes during startup, which really bothers me. As someone who drives to work every day, the 'squeaky' sound is quite concerning. Last time I directly checked the brake pads—it might be due to dirt or rust on them, especially after rain. I tried rinsing off the dust with water myself. If that doesn't work, check whether the brake pads have worn down to the limit mark. Additionally, the noise could come from uneven brake discs; lightly sanding them might help, but don’t force it. If the sound gets worse, head to the repair shop immediately—failing brakes are too dangerous. I also regularly clean around the wheel hubs to reduce dust buildup. In short, don’t ignore small issues; safety comes first. Spending on maintenance is always cheaper than major repairs.
