Brake booster
« on: September 19, 2013, 05:15:48 pm »
Hissing noise from drivers dash area which ceases whilst brake pedal is depressed. Noise returns when pedal is released. I believe it's the brake booster or a vacuum pipe leak.

Has anyone a diy on this? Or a dealer estimate?

And no it's not a snake in the car - I borrowed a mongoose to check that. :angry015:

Thanks for that. I'll have to put up with the hissing-it's not loud tbh.
