[300tdi braking problem]

The difference is if everything is ok it should be a gentle squish like a cowpat between your toes, if it sounds like you have just slashed a tyre it will mean there is a problem

The servos are sealed units I think, so there is not really any way of proving the cause of the problem without sawing a hole in it to see if the diaphragm is split, and after that you will need a new one anyway...

Thanks,will give a try.

[300tdi braking problem]

internal leak in the servo would be my guess if it only happens when you press the pedal down, if it is whooshing all the time it could be the pump

It only happens when you depress the pedal, how can i test for an internal leak? or should i just go and buy a new servo?

Thanks

Hi

When we apply the brakes on our discovery there is a loud hissing/whooshing type noise which sounds like its coming from the brake pedal itself. Also the brakes are not working very well now either. Does anyone have any ideas please? Im thinking servo, vacumn pump?

Thanks

Hi

We have exactly the same problem with our 300tdi, a loud hissing noise when you apply the brake. Has anyone got the answer to whether it's the servo,pipe or pump please? Or does anyone know the best way to find out which ones faulty? Aprreciate any help!
