Brake pedal hiss

AJofShabby · Mar 20, 2021

Hi all
1987 110. Brakes are poor. Bled and rebled. New front callipers and pads. New rear pads and brake cylinders. When brake pedal pressed there is a hiss and pedal travels almost to the floor. Is it the M cyl, brake servo? Any ideas pls. Thanks.

The pipe doesn’t appear in bad nick. I’ve a new one so will replace and check. Shame I can’t upload a video to show the issue.

Get the missus or a friend to stand with their head under the bonnet to listen for the hiss whilst you operate the brake. That might narrow it down a bit. I once had a leaky servo diaphragm that used to hiss, the pedal went down a bit further but not to the floor.

if pedal goes to floor there has to be a leak , full of air or poorly master

Afternoon all. Swapped out the brake vacuum servo and vacuum pipe. All now sorted. The back of the servo was in poor shape and, when shaken, there is a nut or similar rolling around inside. Thanks for your help.
