Post by: UnForGiveN on May 21, 2005, 05:40:17 AM

welcome to the world of power breaks :D

or......

do you hear hissing when you press the pedal?

if so, your booster has that typical vac leak that most of us have and its been a non issue with me two of the past 329kmiles.

My brakes are the same way. They feel soft and you do have to push the pedal a distance to stop. Now if your pedal gets hard as a rock and your car doesn't slow down then you have a problem.

That sound drives me nuts. Sounds like the pedal is breathing.
Oh No... It's Alive! :crazy:

Not sure where exactly the vac leak is but my car stops just fine so I haven't worried about it.

Not trying to make you feel like an idiot or anything but...
Suspension/Steering
Tires, swaybars, steering racks and braking questions
      I'm sure you've got that down by now though.
