2003 1.6 Hissing sound from brake pedal - locknut
Hi I have a vw golf 1.6SE made 2003. When I have been driving and braking for 10 minutes or more I get a hissing sound coming from the inside of the car around the brake pedal. If I stop the car and pump the pedal a few times the hissing noise stops but comes back again when you start to drive and brake again.
The brakes are not spongy and feel fine, has anyone got any idea what is wrong.

Sounds very like a leaking brake servo; new one required, I'm afraid.

Leaky servo at a guess. Probably advisable to get it looked at sooner rather than later.

edit, beaten to it ;o)
