brakes..

[drew_5950]

hello mga guros, ask ko lang po about the brakes on my car. sometimes yung rr brakes ko kumakagat. kaya medyo bumabagal yung takbo ng kotse specially around 20kmh parang naghohold yung break. pero I only notice this kung galing naka handbrake yung car tas aalis na, den after a few minute nawawala naman cya...dati pa toh tas pina replace ko nalang yung brake pads kase worn out narin.. Hope you guys can help me with this...

[super_coffee]

tama po ba na rear brakes? if yes, drum brakes ba? baka kailangan m pacheck ung springs din or brake fluid and brake fluid line just to be sure. baka napasukan ng hangin..

Have a certified mechanic bleed the lines on both rear brakes and have the master cylinder checked as well.

sir memphis ang "bleed" ba parang "dump" nadin sa engine oil? matagal tagal ko nadin to nababasa ndi ko lang cgrado kng anong ibig sbhn..

[userfriendly]

brake bleeding is the process where the mechanic removes or bleeds air from brakes.

"dump" is change brake fluid. Recommended every 2 years or so. Brake fluid absorbs moisture. When its saturated with moisture, it loses its ability to resist boiling and may cause brake failure. Here is a good explanation:

Bleeding the brakes is when you flush air that may be found in the brake fluid line.

Usually, we replace the brake fluid itself during the process which is essential maintenance. The mechanic may ask you to pump the brake pedal several times and lets you hold it. The mechanic then opens the bleeder valve to let out fluid and air, then closes the valve after the pedal has set. This process is done to prevent air being sucked back in through the valve. The process is repeated as many times as needed for each brake.

thanks guus..i'll have checked naalang...saan ba pwede ipapa check? speedyfix kaya? any suggestions would be appreciated

[userfriendly]

drew, you cant go wrong with speedyfix.

[super_coffee]

salamat sir mempis and userfriendly.

yup, ok sa speedyfix. hehe.

may napanood ako sa TV recently about replacing the brake fluid.

sa Shell they use a vaccum for draining the fluid. wala nang bombahan. any idea how much this is?

thanks

drew_5950: another reason is "naninikit" kadalasan sa mga drum kapag nababaha. have it checked, cleaned and bleed to eliminate the air along the lines.

Suki rin ako sa shell malapit sa min pero they only replace the fluid (brake) in the reservoir using a vacccum. Nothing more along the lines. Ang mura nga lang ng charge nila even sa power steering fluid replacement.

Ang tawag po sa bleeding proceedure na yan ay Vacuum Bleed. Pinaluluwagan ang takip ng Master Cylinder pagkatapos punu-in ito ng fluid tapos kakabit ang vacuum apparatus sa bleeder valve para higupin ng vaccum hanggang wala ng bula or air.

I just don't know the particular name of the vacuum, basta pang brake bleeding sya.

Mas effective ba ito? paano matatanggal ng system ang bubbles sa brake lines?

IMO its better if you use the conventional type, It will surely eliminate air from the lines because the fluid will be flowing freeely from the pump up to the bleeder, thus eliminating bubbles.

Opinyon ko lang po, pero mas expert po dyan si sir Memphis Raines.

lahat ba ng shell mayroon nito?

sabi nila kasama na check up ng brake system. may tumutunog kasi sa car ko na parang kumakaskas na matining sa brake rotor. baka kailangan na tingnan yung piston sa front and/or springs sa rear.

magkano nga pala itong service sa shell?

check your brake rotor, baka hindi na pantay surface, one cause kaya may matining na tunog kapag nagbreak. uneven surface produced sounds when braking.

bro san ba area mo? as long as may in house mech puwede mo patingnan yan... sa west ave. pag nagpa oil change ka included na check sa ilalim.

[drew_5950]

thanks a lot guys!~

yung sound naririnig mo kapag tumatakbo... hindi pag nag-break.

had my mechanic check on my brakes. it was just worn out pads

weird thing is, last time nagpalit ako ng bagong pads, may squeal kapag nag break ako. must've been dirty rotors. now with another new set of pads, no more squeal

thanks for the help guys

I believe that both techniques are just as effective, different methods lang. Pero mas common talaga ang Pump and Hold method because you don't need the vacuum and yes, it will effectively eliminate the air/bubbles in the line.

[speedyfix]

either method will work naman. problem with the vacuum bleeder is you tend to use more brake fluid.

normally if there were no air bubbles in the brake system before, hindi rin sya magkakaroon bigla bigla. maybe there is something wrong na talaga.
