Default Help! Something wrong with my brakes?
The pedal is really hard to push and it makes this hissing sound when you release the pedal. Is this normal or is something broken :confused:

I did a search and found lots of old posts concerning this problem. I agree with you Bill that my brake booster is propably broken. Maybe I should change the master cylinder also :D
