Press Release

Every motorist is intimately familiar with the brake pedal, which is a piece of metal.
When you want to slow down, you press down on it.
Until it stops working, you usually don't give your brake pedal a second thought.
Then, it's possible that you can't stop thinking about it and need to have it checked out by a car mechanic pretty quickly. To do this, look online for car garages in Reading and make an appointment as soon as you can.
What is causing your brake pedal to behave weirdly, then?
Furthermore, what can you do to fix the situation?
We'll look at how brake pedal’s function, potential problems, and the best approach to get your brake pedal repaired in this post.
To establish if you had any brake system problems in the past, a part form looking at any previous car repair invoices, if available, you can check MOT history of your car and confirm if a previous MOT test failed due to the braking system.
Three Typical Brake Pedal Issues
Rarely will you find a physical fault with the brake pedal, but you may tell if there is a brake problem by how the pedal feels when you push it.
What to watch out for is listed below for faulty brake pedal symptoms:
Symptom 1: Soft Brake Pedal or Brake Pedal Drops to The Floor
A soft brake pedal provides minimal resistance and has a mushy or spongy feel when you press down on it. A low brake pedal may dip to the floor when pressed and fail to rise back to its original position.
Regardless of whether this happens while you are driving, try repeatedly pressing the brake pedal to see whether pressure will build up in the brake lines, enabling you to stop as soon and safely as possible.
If you see this happening, you should call your mechanic rather than risk it and continue driving before you even consider departing to begin your trip. You can look up garages in Reading online and make bookings if you don't already have a regular mechanic.
The four most typical causes of a soft brake pedal are listed below:
1. Air in Brake Lines - The channel through which braking pressure is applied is brake fluid. Your brake lines, which convey the fluid, may include air, which will lower the hydraulic pressure of the fluid and cause the brake pedal to feel spongy. Additionally, air can enter a brake line during maintenance, when you add brake fluid, or even with regular driving. Or, even worse, it might occur if your brake system has a leak. A search for "check my MOT history" revealed that malfunctioning brake system parts are frequently the cause of a MOT test failure.
2. Brake Fluid Leak - If there isn't enough brake fluid in your brake system, your brake pedal will drop easily. The brake warning lights on your dashboard may also turn on due to low brake fluid. A leak in the brake fluid, which can happen at several locations throughout the brake system, is the most likely reason for this. Any piston seal at the master cylinder, brake caliper, or wheel cylinder can develop a leak, as can the brake hose, brake line, or wheel cylinder. Brake fluid might also leak from an old master cylinder reservoir that has cracked.Take note of the location of the leak if there is brake fluid under your car (which will range in colour from clear to light yellow to brown, depending on how old it is). Your mechanic can determine what part is leaking by checking the leaking location.
3. Regular Brake Pad Wear - Brake shoes and pads aren't designed to last forever. The piston powering the calliper or wheel cylinder has to expand further to stop the wheel from rotating when the pads deteriorate and reach the end of their useful life. As a result, the brake fluid level will decrease, and the brake pedal may get lower. Usually, the brake fluid reservoir is big enough to handle this situation. But issues with other parts, such as a leaky seal on a hyperextended piston, can be brought on by the wear of the brake pads.
4. Failure of the Brake Master Cylinder - This causes the brake lines to fill with brake fluid. Additionally prone t
