|  Help! New owner with a brake noise problem Just got my Fabia Classic 1.2 at the end of August - seemed ok but now can hear a hissing noise from the brake pedal when I depress it. Had not noticed it before cos I usually have the radio on! Phoned dealer, lady in service dept said "its ok - thats the servo". It makes the noise when I depress brake pedal even when engine is off. Took it to dealer this Wednesday afternoon and was told that on some Fabias you hear this noise, on some you don't - you're lucky or unlucky! Please - someone, anyone reassure me - my brother-in-law is a know it all and says there must be something wrong and that the garage is conning me! |

|  Welcome to Briskoda, moysie. Hearing the brake servo working wouldn't bother me provided braking was OK. I would stop worrying and enjoy your car.

| Thanks Denis - brakes do appear to be working ok - probably I'm slightly paranoid as before getting the Fabia I had a nightmare time with a Renault Megane - everything, and I mean everything went wrong - £2300 worth of repairs in two years!. Moysie |

| Is it a sort of whooshing noise if you pump the pedal? If so its normal and nowt to worry about.
