Why does the Volkswagen T-Roc make abnormal noises at low speeds?

[JayceDella]

Abnormal braking noises at low speeds are likely due to severely worn brake pads, where the warning shim emits sharp abnormal sounds to prompt replacement. Alternatively, excessive wear on the brake disc or brake drum, which becomes too thin, can also cause abnormal noises. Another possibility is that newly replaced brake pads may not fit properly with the brake disc or drum, resulting in point or line contact that generates abnormal noises. Additional information is as follows: 1. Brake lifespan: The replacement cycle for brake pads is not fixed and depends on the vehicle's driving conditions, the frequency and intensity of the driver's use of the brake pedal. Front brake pads wear out faster than rear ones, with a lifespan of approximately 30,000-50,000 kilometers for front brake pads and 100,000-150,000 kilometers for rear brake pads. 2. Specific causes: Faults in the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads can all produce such noises. If the noise is continuous, the first step is to check for dragging brakes, as poor caliper reset can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pad, leading to abnormal noises under certain conditions. If the noise occurs immediately after installing new pads, it may be due to a mismatch in size between the new pads and the friction block.

I've also experienced low-speed squeaking noises while driving my Volkswagen T-Roc, which is quite annoying. This issue is often caused by problems with the suspension system, such as aging or loose shock absorber springs, especially when going over speed bumps or turning, resulting in creaking sounds. Additionally, if the brake pads in the braking system are unevenly worn or the calipers are not properly secured, stepping on the brakes at low speeds can cause noise, sometimes a sharp metal grinding sound. I must remind everyone not to overlook these small details, as they may indicate deeper issues, such as rusted chassis connecting components. It's best to have a comprehensive inspection at a professional shop and consider replacing the brake pads to see if the problem improves. Daily driving should avoid potholes to reduce wear and tear, as ensuring driving safety is the top priority.

Low-speed abnormal noises are quite common in the T-Roc. I think the most noteworthy issues are with the braking and steering systems. For example, a humming sound when lightly pressing the brakes is mostly due to uneven brake discs or thinning brake pads. If not replaced in time, they can wear down even more. A clicking sound when turning? It might be loose steering rods or ball joints, making the steering wheel feel a bit wobbly when driving. I've also encountered worn wheel hub bearings, which cause a humming echo during low-speed acceleration. Safety first! If these problems aren't fixed, they can eventually lead to component damage or even a tire blowout. I recommend using genuine parts for repairs as soon as possible—don't opt for cheap aftermarket parts just to save money.

I encountered many sources of low-speed noise in the T-Roc, with aging components being the key issue. For example, deteriorated rubber bushings can become loose, especially squeaking during low-speed turns. Additionally, problems with the belt or chain can cause a ticking sound when starting the car. Prompt inspection can save money and provide peace of mind.
