What are the signs of a worn clutch?
Common signs include difficulty shifting gears, a slipping clutch (engine revs increase but speed doesn’t), a burning smell, or a clutch pedal that feels spongy or sticks. In some cases, you might also hear grinding when changing gears. These symptoms often point to worn plates, damaged hydraulics, or pressure plate issues and should be inspected promptly to avoid further damage.
How long should brake pads typically last?
Brake pad lifespan varies depending on driving style, vehicle type, and whether the car is used mainly in city traffic or on highways. On average, brake pads last between 30,000 to 70,000 kilometres. Stop-start driving, carrying heavy loads, or frequent braking can reduce their lifespan. It’s best to have them checked during routine services or if you hear squealing, grinding, or feel vibration when braking.
Can I drive with a soft brake pedal?
Driving with a soft or spongy brake pedal is unsafe and should be avoided. It can indicate air in the brake lines, fluid leaks, or failing master cylinders. These issues can significantly reduce braking power, increasing your stopping distance and risk of an accident. Have the system inspected immediately to diagnose and resolve the problem.
