Why Does the Jetta Brake Squeak?
1 Answers
Jetta brake squeaking is mainly caused by brake pad wear, rusty brake guides, or brake disc wear. Brake Pad Wear: When the brake pads are worn to their limit, the brake warning shim rubs against the brake disc, producing a metal-on-metal sound. At this point, braking efficiency decreases, affecting driving safety, and the brake pads should be replaced promptly. Rusty Brake Guides: Rust inside the brake guides or dirty lubricant can also cause squeaking. This can be resolved by sanding with fine sandpaper and applying fresh lubricant. Brake Disc Wear: Worn brake discs develop deep grooves around their surface. Friction between the brake pads and the edges of these grooves generates abnormal noise.
