Why are the newly replaced brake pads and discs too hot to touch?
1 Answers
Reasons why newly replaced brake pads and discs are too hot to touch: The gap between new brake pads and the brake disc is relatively small, so even slight friction can generate heat after driving for a while, making the brake disc too hot to touch. This is a completely normal phenomenon. Solutions: Adjust the brake pressure. Applying the brakes several times can help restore normal conditions. Seek after-sales service for adjustments if the brake pads are too tightly fitted to the disc—adjusting the distance can resolve the issue. If air enters the brake pump, causing slow brake release, open the pump's air vent to release the air. Precautions: Under normal driving conditions, inspect the brake pads every 5,000 kilometers. Check not only the remaining thickness but also the wear status of the brake pads, ensuring even wear on both sides and smooth retraction. Address any abnormalities immediately.
