Why does the Sagitar make a squeaking sound at low speeds?
2 Answers
The Sagitar may produce a squeaking sound at low speeds due to uneven wear of the brake pads or misalignment of the brake pads. The solution is to remove the brake pads and grind the edges with an angle grinder. Taking the 2021 Sagitar 200TSI Manual Fashion Smart Edition as an example, it features a turbocharged intake, is classified as a compact car, with a maximum horsepower of 116PS and a maximum torque of 175Nm. The dimensions of the 2021 Sagitar 200TSI Manual Fashion Smart Edition are 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. It is a 4-door, 5-seater sedan.
My Sagitar has been running for several years, and the squeaking noise at low speeds is quite annoying. Common causes include worn brake pads or dust getting stuck, which creates noise when rubbing at low speeds; loose suspension components such as stabilizer bar links or ball joints can squeak when turning; a loose belt might also cause unusual noises. I’ve encountered similar issues before and tried checking the tires myself for wear or debris, but it’s best to have it inspected by a professional shop, as it affects driving safety. I suggest first identifying the source of the noise—the braking system is near the wheels, while the suspension is underneath the car—to narrow it down. Ignoring it long-term can worsen wear and tear, so regular maintenance is crucial.
