Checking Brake Pad Squeal

Model: Lexus IS MK 3 - Years 2013-2024
Part: Brake pads

If you hear a squeal from the brake calipers during braking, especially at low speeds, inspect the braking system to determine whether to replace the discs and pads or if a remedy is possible. The squeal is actually a vibration of the pads caused by imperfect contact between the disc surface and the pad itself. Check the condition of both the pad and disc surfaces: if you notice cracks, proceed with replacement. Otherwise, an effective solution is to apply copper grease to the back of the pads, the sliding plates, and the floating pins of the caliper.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
