Brake Problem?

[hamsters]

Hi

 

Ii have a 52 1.9 tdi that has just been servived & MOT not done by Main dealer, however 2 issues have arose at the same time.

 

1) large quantities of white smoke from the Aux heater, searched indicated Glow Plug and will get it looked at.

 

2) Continous hissing appears to be coming from front Drivers side near the whell arch, gets consderably louder when accelrating but will stop completely when brake pedal depressed if even slightly.

 

Only problem is am visiting relatived inplymouth from the isle of wight so a little bit distance from getting it checked.

 

any thoughts on the hissing - could it be an air escape on the brake servo? and if so whats the damage likely to be?

 

I suppose that if the servo failed the brakes would still work but greater foot pressure would be needed but at least the car would be driveable to get us back home tomorrow?

 

any thought views welcome
