AWeb80 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 A Local 96 Gp Makes A Hissing Sound When The Brakes Are Applied. I Have Not Seen The Car Yet, This Is What I've Been Told. Btw, Are 3.4 And 3100 Boosters The Same? I'm Not Sure What Engine It Has. Does This Sound Like A Vacuum Leak Or A Failing Booster? Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Are your brakes spongy or does the bottom of the pedal seem to move down when you are sitting at a red light ? Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 The hissing sound may mean that the vacuum line comming from the intake going to the brake booster is off or has a leak. Quote
AWeb80 Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Posted July 30, 2008 Not My Car. And Yes, I'm Thinking The Line Has A Leak. But, Why Would It Hiss Only When Brakes Are Pressed? Quote
GP1138 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 Increased vacuum pressure causing a hole to blow out. Quote

Brian P Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Well I think there's a rubber diaphragm in there that could fail, though it's not common to happen. Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 Well I think there's a rubber diaphragm in there that could fail, though it's not common to happen. This is accurate ! Quote

Brian P Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 I was talking to this guy, you know, and I just happened to throw my purse on the sofa. And my diaphragm goes flying out. So I just froze, you know, ahh! Staring at my diaphragm. You know, it's just lying there. So then, this woman, the one who sold me this hair thing, she grabbed it before the guy noticed, so. I mean, big deal, right? So I carry around my diaphragm, who doesn't? Yeah, like it's a big, big secret that women carry around their diaphragms. You never know when you're gonna need it, right?

LOL - we are watching Season 4 of Seinfeld right now, so this comment is rather relevant. Marla the virgin! Quote
