Benjevw 10 Posted April 16, 2012 Hi guys, I bled the brakes today using the easibleed. Took it for a test up the road and can hear a hissing when I press the brake pedal! My dad said its the servo/master cylinder. I didn't bleed the master cylinder when I did the brakes, would this cure the hiss? Or is it a case of a new servo? Hope some peeps can help Cheers Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8vMatt 1 Posted April 16, 2012 I had a hissing noise after working on the brakes. Found it to still be air in the system, even after a few bleeds. Did another full bleed and loads of bubbles came out and the hissing went. Best of luck sorting it mate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah rite, I've bled them twice now(once manually and once on the easibleed), and put quite a bit of fluid through so I thort it would be enough! I'll try again tomorrow night tho. Hope i get it sorted too man cheers Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had both rear calipers off, there was a bit of air in them today but thort we'd got it all out! Dont know if it's worth mentioning but the brakes did feel a lot better today compared to after bleeding them the first time. Was reading about adjusting the servo from inside the car for play in the pedal after upgrading brakes, it's got 312s on the front so this may be something to look at.

Benjevw 10 Posted April 16, 2012 We didnt do that so its worth a try! It's just my dad was certain it was the servo. Sounds like its pi$$ing air when I brake! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
