Hissing brake pedal

[Morgan]

Hi all,
I have w reg sharan, which keeps giving a hissing sound, but stops when the brake pedal is pressed. (Have checked there are no snakes in the footwell:biglaugh: ).
The brakes dont seem to be effected any any way, but would like some advive if any one else has had the same problem?

Thanks
Morgan

Hi Morgan,
sounds like the exact same thing that started with out X reg Sharan TDI.
Brakes worked fine and the hissing stopped when braking.
Became annoying so took it to the garage.

It need a new servo. Had it done and hey presto hissing stopped.

Suggest you take it if you haven't already done so.

Cheers

Thanks Julee, how much was the approx cost of having the servo replaced? Just so that I can be prepared for the shock!?

Thanks Again
Morgan

Morgan it was a bit of a shock for me !
While the car was in for the brake servo they also looked at the air con controls which were not working and they did a service on the air con. itself.
Taking these items out of the equation I see the brake servo was charged at £227.99. Not sure of labour costs on this alone.

Hope this gives you some idea. Good luck

Servo hissing = leak normally.... not a good thing as the Servo could fail at any time............

How have u got on??

Have taken the car to the garage and yes the servo had to be replaced. The servo cost £264 plus labour, which came to a Total £345.

A lot of money to get rid a annoying hiss!!:zx11:

Hi.
I too have a hissing pedal that first appeared after a squeeking from the pedal box area.
If by any chance you can look out the Part number for the servo i would appreciate it.so i could try and cross reference this number and try and get it a little cheaper as my VW dealer will not release any numbers.

Thanks Neil :beerchug:

I had hissing from the driver's footwell in my VW Sharan 2001 whenever the brake pedal was released. Teasing the brake pedal could make it go away. Passed an MOT but then it would, as the brake servo is only designed to make the act of braking more efficient. Anyway, I required a new brake servo at a cost of £350 labour, parts and VAT.
