Why does the brake feel soft after replacing the brake fluid?
1 Answers
After replacing the brake fluid, the brake feeling soft is due to the poor performance of the brake fluid, which results in insufficient friction between the brake pads and the brake discs. Over time, moisture can seep in, and after the moisture evaporates, a certain amount of air gap is created between the brake pads and the brake discs, leading to the phenomenon of the brake feeling soft and ineffective. During normal driving, if the braking force fluctuates between light and heavy, the brake fluid should be replaced promptly. Before replacement, clean the brake system with alcohol. Do not mix different types or brands of brake fluid, as their formulations differ, and mixing can cause a decline in the performance indicators of the brake fluid.
