The kinetic energy of the braking vehicle is changed into heat and the resulting heat increases the temperature
of each part of brakes. The changed temperature affects the coefficient of friction between the brake lining and brake drum
of brake disc. Unless the brakes are actuated hydraulically there is the warning brake pads and brake fluid. Object of examination
in this article is the impact of repetitive braking to change of these parameters and the impact of time to change
the boiling point of the brake fluid.

The paper is focused on the impact of clogged air filter on a change of speed characteristics of spark-ignition
engine 1.4 MPI, 16V, 74 kW. The clogged air filter can cause deterioration in engine charging. Less air means the
possibility of burning smaller amount of fuel, and thus less energy brought to the engine. This should cause a change in the
size of engine torque and its power.
