My Vauxhall Vivaro's brakes have started to squeak when I apply them. Is this an indication of a serious issue? What steps should I take to address this?
ReplyHi Dan, squeaky brakes may be an indication of different potential issues such as worn brake pads, low brake fluid levels or dirty brake components. It is important to address this issue as soon as possible to ensure your safety while driving and prevent more serious damage to your vehicle.
Hi Dan, the first thing you should do is visually inspect your brake pads to see if they are worn down. If they are, it is important to replace them immediately. It is also a good idea to check your brake fluid levels and top up if needed. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to take your Vauxhall Vivaro to a trusted mechanic for further diagnosis.
Hey Dan, another potential cause of squeaky brakes could be dirty brake components. Over time, dirt and debris can build up on your brake discs and cause them to make noise when in contact with the brake pads. You can try cleaning the brake components with a brake cleaner solution or taking your vehicle for a brake service to have a professional clean them for you.
