Today in the section “I am a mechanic, this is how I see it” we will show how to tune the brakes on a Skoda Yeti. Improving the braking system involves a comprehensive approach: replacing the brake discs, pads, calipers, and other elements of the braking system. Usually, the smaller the engine capacity of a car, the smaller the diameter of the discs installed on it, and the lower the efficiency of its braking system. Therefore, there is a chance that at high speed, such discs can fail. To increase the efficiency of the braking system of the Skoda Yeti, we upgrade the brakes - we install discs of a larger diameter. The work is carried out in several stages: we remove the old mechanisms, and not only the discs with pads, but also the steering knuckle, bearing with shock absorber. We install new mechanisms and simultaneously carry out diagnostics of the car's suspension. Replacement of parts is mandatory, because we take discs of a different diameter. We told you everything about how to improve the braking system in our video. Subscribe to the channel to learn more about your car! Information about vacancies at EuroAuto: +7 (812) 458 04 60.
