What else can I help you with?
Why will a cars braking system not work well if air gets into the brake fluid?
Air will compress under pressure, hydraulic brake fluid doesn't. Air in the system will give you a spongy peddle because of that.
How do we use air pressure everyday?
Hydrolics and all things that run off of Hydrolics
What is a ABS in cars?
Anti-lock Brake System.
What causes air injection system pressure to be stuck in cars?
what causes air injection system pressure to be stucked in cars
When you put on the brakes by pushing down the brake pedal air pressure is applied to the brake pads?
In all cars and most trucks HYDRAULIC pressure is used to apply the brakes. In an air brake system such as is found on medium and heavy duty trucks the air is actually released to apply the brakes.
Why is liquid used in brake lines of cars instead of gas?
Because if you were to fill your brake system with gas, every time you press your brakes, the gas would compress and provide inadequate pressure to the brake pad. Liquid, on the other hand, needs substantially more pressure to compress and is thus more suitable.
Why are brake lines in cars filled with an oily liquid?
That is brake fluid. The brake system uses hydraulics to apply the brakes.
What does a backing plate on a truck do?
The backing place is located behind the brake pads on some cars and behind the brake shoes on all cars. It prevents debris from entering the brake system.
Why is braking difficult after car runs out of gas?
Newer cars have a Power Brake Booster (or Power Disc Brake system). This system adds hydraulic pressure to the brake system, so when you push the brake pedal, it increases the pressure on the brake pads with hydraulic power. When the car is off, you loose the additional power provided by this hydraulic system. The brakes still work, you just need to push harder. Typically after the engine cuts off, the first time you press the brake it is somewhat normal (hydraulic pressure still in the system) but after that, the pedal becomes harder to press. It is the same concept with Power Steering - you have hydraulic assistance with the engine on, but none with it off (turn the key on without the engine on and turn the wheel - it is possible, just hard).
Your left hand front brake line have no pressure when brakes are applied?
modern cars have a brake pressure equalizer on them. sounds like this valve is not working correctly.could also be a bad caliper on that wheel
Where can you find a diagram for the brake lines for a 92 paseo?
The brake system is important to keep maintained. A diagram for the brake lines in a 1992 Paseo can be found in the cars manual for maintenance.
Where is the sensor for the brake light?
This will 100% depend on what make and year the car is, but I will give you a few examples. Before 1967 most cars had no brake fault warning light. In 1967 cars were required to have "Dual Circuit Hydraulics" this system allowed the Manufacturers to build a simple Hydraulic balance switch mounted beside or under the Master Brake Cylinder to operate the brake system fault light. Usually has a single wire run to it. The system in place since 1967 is still used, but most cars have brake fluid level sensors and Anti Lock Brake computers that also turn on the brake fault light.
