2 Answers
The Great Wall C30 sedan's brakes feeling ineffective may be due to ABS activation, or issues such as malfunctioning brake calipers or air in the brake fluid. The Great Wall C30 is a globally strategic model meticulously developed by Great Wall Motors, taking four years from development to market launch. Its design and testing strictly adhere to EU standards, embodying the brand's consistent excellence in quality and craftsmanship, combining solid performance with dynamic and stylish aesthetics. Here is an introduction to the Great Wall C30: 1. Design: The Tengyi C30 features a long wheelbase and short body design, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. At the 11th Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, the Tengyi C30 won the title of "Most Popular Compact Sedan Among Netizens" awarded by an authoritative automotive website. 2. Brand Introduction: The first-generation Great Wall Tengyi C30 was launched in May 2010, marking a milestone as Great Wall Motors' first sedan. In April 2012, at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, Great Wall Motors renamed the original Tengyi C30 to Great Wall C30, discontinuing the use of the Tengyi C30 name.
Friends who have driven the Great Wall C30, I've also experienced the issue of the brakes feeling inadequate. I remember one rainy day trip when the pedal felt soft and spongy, which was particularly nerve-wracking. The main reasons could be severely worn brake pads or aged and insufficient brake fluid. Over time, as the brake pads wear thin, their friction decreases; if the fluid has too much water content or is insufficient, the hydraulic system won't transmit force effectively. You should promptly check the color and level of the brake fluid—replace it if it's dirty. Warped brake discs can also affect efficiency, so feel them by hand for any raised areas. Don't overlook routine maintenance; it's recommended to have a professional inspection at a reputable repair shop every 30,000 kilometers or so. Safety is no small matter—if you spot an issue, don't hesitate; address it immediately for peace of mind. Drive gently in daily use, as sudden braking damages the car and increases danger.
