Note: before applying the brakes, make sure that the wheel tires are in working order and the tires are inflated (see chapter 1), the vehicle is level and the load is not leaning to one side, and the front wheel toe-in is set correctly.
46. Car pulls to the side when braking
1. Damaged, defective or oily brake pads on one side. Check (see chapter 9).
2. Strong wear of the pad or brake disc on one side. Check and correct as required.
3. Loose or disconnected front suspension elements. Check and tighten all bolts (chapter 10).
4. Defective brake caliper assembly. Disassemble the brake caliper for a stuck piston or other damage (chapter 9).
47. Noise (high frequency screeching when braking)
The brake pads are completely worn out. The noise comes from the wear sensor rubbing against the disc (does not apply to all vehicles) or from the base of the pad itself, if the coating has completely worn off from it. Replace brake pads with new ones immediately (chapter 9). If the friction coating is completely worn off the pads, the brake discs should be inspected for integrity as described in chapter 9.
48. Large brake pedal travel
1. Partial damage to the brake system. Check the whole system (chapter 9).
2. There is not enough fluid in the master brake cylinder. Check (Chapter 1), add fluid and bleed the brakes if necessary (chapter 9).
3. Rear brakes incorrectly adjusted. You should move off several times and stop in reverse gear. If this does not help, disassemble the brake drums and check the automatic gap adjuster (chapter 9).
49. Failure of the brake pedal
1. Air in the hydraulic system. Bleed the brakes (chapter 9).
2. Faulty flexible hoses. Check all piping and hose connections. If necessary, move the elements to the desired position.
50. To stop the car requires particularly strong pressure on the pedal
1. The brake booster is not functioning properly (chapter 9).
2. The pads or pads are badly worn. Check and replace if necessary (chapter 9).
3. Newly installed pads did not run in. New parts are relatively quickly run in to the drum or disc.
4. One or more caliper pistons are sticking or seizing. Check, repair as needed (see chapter 9).
5. Brake pads or linings are oily. Clear them.
51. The pedal is pressed to the floor with almost no resistance
Lack or a small amount of working fluid in the main brake cylinder. Due to leaks in wheel cylinders, caliper pistons, loose, damaged or disconnected lines. Check the entire system.
52. Pulsation of the pedal when braking
1. Caliper installed incorrectly. Disassemble and check (chapter 9).
2. Disc defects. Disassemble the drive (chapter 9) and check for excessive wear and runout. Repair the drive or replace it with a new one.
