Air Noise When I Release The Brake Pedal

[caiblue]

hi, purchased a 2001 galaxy 2.3 last month & car going great apart from a noise like hissing air when i release my foot off the brake pedal, brakes work fine & no warning lights on the dash. sounds like a wagon`s air brakes!. also the cruise control doesent work so was wondering if the 2 are connected? or do all galaxy`s have this air noise as i cant say i noticed it before,

thanks for looking,

gordon.

have you bought the car from a dealer?or a private sale?

sounds very much like the commoin problem of the seal in the servo that has failed.

ours went last year , same symptoms. apparantly its not critical repair but needs doing sooner rather than later. i woiuld with it being brakes. scared the daylights out of me.

bad news the seal is part of the servo unit and unless you can find a good used one then you are out for around
