Why does the Lavida make a noise when braking in reverse?

[Hernandez]

Lavida making abnormal noises when braking in reverse requires analysis under various circumstances. If there is abnormal noise while driving without pressing the brake, it may indicate brake dragging. In this case, it is necessary to check the free travel of the brake pedal and the gap between the brake pads and the brake disc. If there is abnormal noise during service braking, it might be due to material issues causing the noise, and the only solution is to replace them with better-quality materials. Related explanations are as follows: 1. The metal particles in the brake pads generally do not affect braking performance. However, compared to normal friction materials, higher hardness can create circular grooves on the brake disc, accelerating the wear of the brake disc and pads. Since it does not affect braking performance, you may choose not to address it. As the brake pads gradually wear down, the metal particles will also be worn away. 2. However, if the noise is excessive or causes severe scratches on the brake disc, you can go to a maintenance center to scrape off the hard spots on the surface of the brake pads with a blade. If there are still other metal particles in the brake pads, abnormal braking noises may recur during future use. Therefore, you can opt to replace them with higher-quality brake pads for an upgrade, but ensure to choose a legitimate purchasing channel, as braking performance is directly related to driving safety.

As a long-time Volkswagen Lavida owner with over a decade of driving experience, I've encountered that 'squeaking' brake sound during reversing multiple times before - it sounded like metal scraping. I consulted experienced mechanics who explained this is usually caused by brake disc rusting, especially when the car sits idle for extended periods or after rain. The accumulated rust creates friction noises during reverse braking. Weight transfer can also amplify the noise. Leaving it untreated isn't just noisy - it accelerates brake pad wear and compromises safety. I now follow a strict biannual maintenance routine including thickness inspections and deposit cleaning, plus avoiding sudden braking to prolong system lifespan. Prevention beats repair - minor issues can escalate if ignored. That's why I've developed the habit of paying attention to such details, ensuring worry-free driving.

As an ordinary female car owner, I find the screeching sound when braking in reverse with my Lavida quite annoying, like a 'grating' scraping noise. The first time it happened, I was really nervous and thought the car was broken. Later, when I took it to the 4S shop for inspection, the mechanic said it was due to uneven wear or hard spots on the brake pads, and replacing them would solve the issue. He also explained that when reversing, the car's center of gravity shifts, making friction more likely to produce noise. If left unaddressed, the noise could worsen and might even lead to disc burning. I learned to keep the brakes clean in daily use, such as driving a short distance after rain to warm them up and remove rust; checking the brake condition every 20,000 kilometers; and applying gentle pressure and avoiding sudden braking to protect the components. This maintenance is simple and cost-effective, and it also helps prevent accidents. I've now made it a habit and feel much more at ease.

I just bought a car recently, and my Lavida's brakes make a sharp screeching noise like scraping metal when reversing. After consulting the after-sales service, they said it might be due to thin brake pads or rust on the disc surface, which are common issues often overlooked. They recommend checking the thickness every maintenance cycle and cleaning or replacing them if necessary. Delaying repairs can accelerate wear and increase risks. I've learned some basic maintenance to avoid major repairs and save hassle.
