Self-test tips hope that through a number of simple and self-test method can be introduced, so that even if the owner can not manually replace or repair, but also more timely understanding of vehicle information, can not be subject to professional inspection at any time, check their own and judge the small Problem of the method.

Now in addition to the car is a simple means of transport, but also a lot of people's life partners, many of my friends like to play in the work of car pondering cars. There are some friends who do not understand the car, but also hope that through the car experience to get more car knowledge, use this knowledge to check their own vehicles. First look at the brake pads of the self-test.

Brake pads and brake discs are two parts, the brake pads need to be replaced regularly, and the brake disc in the absence of damage, daily use does not need to be replaced. There are many ways to replace the brake pads, such as looking at the thickness. A new brake pad thickness is generally around 1.5cm, with the use of continuous friction will gradually thinning the thickness. Professional technical staff suggested that when the thickness of the brakes to observe the original thickness of the original 1/3 thickness (about 0.5cm) or so, the owner will increase the frequency of self-test, ready to replace. Of course, individual models due to wheel design reasons, do not have the conditions to see the naked eye, you need to remove the tire to complete. Each brake pad has a protrusion on both sides of the mark, the thickness of this mark in about two or three millimeters, which is the brake plate the thinnest replacement limit, if the brake plate thickness has been parallel with this mark, you must replace. So when the thickness of the brake pad close to this mark when the owner will have to observe at any time to prepare, but in the case of non-demolition of the tire through the naked eye is difficult to accurately observe the current number of models in the brake pad is too thin when the instrument hand brake light position Prompt, relative to the self-test to facilitate some.

Small advice: brake pads according to the car environment and driving habits without strict replacement intervals, generally about 60,000 km driving to consider replacement. When the naked eye observation brake thinner should be required in the maintenance of technical staff to check, because the naked eye observation will be there will be errors, professional service stations through the caliper than the naked eye observation more rigorous.

And then listen to the sound. If the brake at the same time accompanied by the "iron rub iron" sound, this time the brake pads must be replaced immediately. Because the limit on both sides of the brake pads have been directly friction brake discs, that brake pads have exceeded the limit. In this case, in the replacement of the brake pads at the same time to meet the brake disc check, there is often the sound of the brake disc has been damaged, this time even if the replacement of the new brake pads still can not eliminate the sound, serious need to replace the brake disc The

Small advice: When you hear the sound of the brake is often late, when the brake disc more or less will be damaged. Brake disc prices are much higher than the brake pads, so it is recommended that you check the brake pads, to avoid damage to the brake disc thing.

There is also a way to feel the intensity. When the brake thinning when we brake effect will be affected, then need to step on the brake pedal deeper to achieve the original light step can achieve the braking effect, the first half of the brake effect is significantly reduced, many people feel their Brakes become soft, a bit impatient, and at this time we must check to see if the brake pads need to be replaced.

Small advice: This method is relatively abstract, with the feeling may be some bad to grasp, so to develop a good self-test habits is very important. In addition, the brake effect will reduce the brake oil consumption will increase, so replace the brake pads at the same time to focus on checking the brake oil situation.
