Hissing noise

Hissing noise
My 1998 Grand Voyager has developed a persistant hissing noise when the brake pedal is released - it continues until the pedal is depresed again - the sound appears to be coming from behind the centre console at floor level.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

RE: Hissing noise
Sounds like you have a leak in your power brake booster. disconnect it from the vaccum source under the hood by removing the large vacuum line and plug the line with a bit of duct tape. then start the car, go in and press on the brake and see if you still hear the hiss. if no, then brake booster is likely defective, if you still hear it, check around the brake pedal to make sure none of the vacuum line running to the HVAC system have come pinched or brokenand get moved with the action of the pedal. make sure you reconnect the brakebooster before trying to drive it. They are mighty hard to stop without that booster!

RE: Hissing noise
Jerry,
Is the brake booster situated behind a small black plastic cover in the passenger footwell? - that is where the hissing is comming from - took the cover off and when the assembly is pushed in the noise stops the starts again when released - is the unit easy to replace and is it dangerous to drive in current condition?
Thanks

Hi Is yours a right hand drive? Sounds like the brake booster/servo. Not nice to change.

RE: Hissing noise
The brake booster is under the hood directly behind the brake pedal. I do not know how a right hand drive is set up but I would think it would be relocated to the drivers side of the vehicle. either way, you cannot get to it from inside the car except perhaps if there is a linkage that connects the break peddle on the right to the booster mounted on the left.
When you open the hood and check the brake fluid, where (on which side) is the reservoir? as it is generally mounted on the break booster atop the master cylinder.

Yes it's right hand drive - can't be any worse than replacing the rear set of spark plugs?
