    The sound of air leakage when applying the brakes is a problem with the brake booster pump. The sound of air leakage is generally divided into two situations, one is when the brake booster pump is working normally, but it is only short-lived; The other is made after stepping on it, and the sound is more obvious or continuous.

    There is an air leaking sound when the brakes are applied.

    There is a sound of air leakage when applying the brakesTroubleshooting method:

    1. You can test it through a method to see if the sound is caused by the leakage of the brake booster pump, turn on the engine, turn it off after running for 1-2 minutes, and then pedal three times. When the normal working vacuum booster steps on the first foot, its pedal stroke is normal due to the presence of sufficient vacuum in the vacuum booster; On the second foot, because some vacuum has been lost in the booster, the pedal stroke will be reduced a lot; When you step on the third foot, there is very little vacuum in the vacuum booster, so the pedal stroke is also very small, and you can't step on it again.

    2. The above is the so-called "one foot is higher than one foot". This proves that the booster is leak-free and working properly. If the stroke of each foot pedal is small and the stroke is constant, the so-called "very hard foot", it means that the booster is leaking and failing.

    If the air leakage is severe, the sound of air leakage can be heard, and the booster with air leakage needs to be replaced.

    Hello, this situation may be the vacuum booster pump which leaks, serious or more dangerous, you can test it first, you can start the car for a few minutes, and then turn off, and then step on the brakes, step on the brakes a few times, each time you step on the brakes the stroke will become shorter, it is difficult to step on it two or three times, if the stroke is the same every time you step on it, it is the brake pump force leakage, it is recommended to replace it as soon as possible, serious will cause brake failure, there are serious safety hazards, so as not to cause safety accidents.

    Hello, the sound of air leakage can be clearly heard when the vehicle is applied to the brakes, and sometimes the sound of air deflate can be heard after pressing the brake pedal. It could be a problem with the brake booster pump. The sound of air leakage is generally divided into two situations, one is when the brake booster pump is working normally, but it is only a temporary normal condition; The other is emitted after stepping on it, the sound is more obvious or there is a continuous sound of air leakage, and the booster with air leakage needs to be replaced.

    1. The brake adopts a vacuum-assisted braking system, and there will be intake and exhaust sounds when the booster pump is working;

    2. The brake pedal, as the name suggests, is a pedal that limits power, that is, the pedal of the foot brake (service brake), and the brake pedal is used to slow down and stop. It is one of the five major control parts of car driving. The frequency of use is very high. How driver control directly affects the safety of car driving;

    3. Gently press the brake pedal, the intake valve will sometimes be closed loosely, and there will be a slight air leakage sound, but it will not affect the braking. It was indeed stepped on, the intake valve was completely closed, and there was no air leakage. In order to avoid air leakage, when braking, be decisive and do not drag mud and water.

    If the air leak is severe when pedaling lightly, it needs to be replaced, as the air leak can affect the vacuum level of the engine intake.

    It's not a problem with the braking system. This is the sound of a vacuum booster.

    Vacuum superchargers use the pressure difference between the negative pressure generated by the engine and the atmospheric pressure to force the rubber diaphragm in the supercharger to move.

    When the brake pedal is pressed, the vacuum hole of the supercharger rubber diaphragm closes, while the air hole is opened to allow outside air to enter. Since the air pressure in this chamber is greater than the air pressure in the other chamber, the rubber diaphragm is forced to move, driving the piston of the brake master cylinder to move, thus increasing the pressure.

    If your car is a large vehicle, it is normal, because large cars mostly use air brakes, and every time you brake, there will be air exhaust.

    If the brakes are normal, it may be necessary to check the vacuum booster for air leaks.

    There are two kinds of sounds similar to air leakage, one is made during the process of stepping, and there is no sound when stepping on the end without lifting. One is to step on the bottom without raising your foot and continue to emit it. The first should be the sound of the main pump core and the booster pump moving, and there is nothing wrong with that.

    Of course, it depends on whether the brake fluid you change is qualified. The second problem is the sound of the power pack leaking. Repairs are required, and the booster assembly is replaced.

    But the booster leak is not a matter of a day or two, it must have been there before, but you didn't notice it. Judging method: You can step on it after extinguishing the car without lifting your foot, and see how long your foot is pushed up. If it's going to be quick (within 10 seconds), it's an air leak and must be fixed.

    Not low. And you said you could before... I estimate that if there is no air leakage, it is that the brake exhaust is not clean, or the oil quality is shoddy, resulting in a larger stroke, and the vacuum required for each step is larger, which is not as many times as before.

    Addendum: It must be tried after the car is extinguished. In addition, there is a 70% failure rate of brake fluids on the market, but only very shoddy brake fluids can cause the stroke to increase.

    It's not that there's a problem with the braking system, it's the sound of the vacuum booster.

    The working principle of the vacuum booster is to use the pressure difference between the negative pressure generated by the engine and the atmospheric pressure to force the rubber diaphragm inside the supercharger to move. When the brake pedal is pressed, the vacuum hole of the rubber diaphragm cavity of the supercharger is closed, and the air hole is opened at the same time to let the outside air enter, because the air pressure in the cavity is greater than the air pressure of the other cavity, the rubber diaphragm is forced to move, and the piston of the brake master cylinder is driven to move, so as to play the role of pressurization.

    The reasons for the abnormal sound when braking may be:

    1. The brake pad material is too hard. When the metal material particles in the brake pads are very hard or relatively large, when the driving vehicle is on the brakes, the brake pads will make abnormal noises after rubbing against the brakes.

    Of course, this situation generally does not appear in the brake pads on the original car, which is basically caused by the owner replacing some inferior brake pads in the later stage. The brake pads will not only wear out the brake disc too quickly, but also affect the braking performance of the vehicle.

    2. The brake pads are worn unevenly. In the process of using the vehicle, it is inevitable to pass through some muddy waterways, and these muddy water often cause the brake parts of the vehicle to work poorly, such as brake cylinder pistons, brake cylinder pins and so on. Due to the poor working of these components, the brake pads and the brake disc cannot be fully fitted, resulting in unevenness.

    Therefore, when we step on the brakes, we will naturally hear the abnormal sound of brakes, and I believe that the owners who have replaced the new brake pads have had such an experience, which is caused by uneven wear of the brake pads and brake discs.

    If there is a leakage sound when braking, it is very likely that the brake system is faulty, and it can be repaired in time.

    Hello car owners! Are the brakes heavy when the brakes are applied? If the brakes are heavy, it should be that the vacuum booster is damaged.

    Summary. Hello, there is a sound of air leakage when you step on the brakes, this is generally a vacuum pump problem. The inside of the drum in the vacuum pump is that the sealing inside is not good, and this needs to be replaced.

    But if you replace this drum, it is more expensive, if it is a terminal car, it will cost at least seven or eight hundred yuan, and if you want a high-end car, it may be several thousand. It depends on what model you have.

    What's the deal with the sound of a leak when you hit the brakes?

    Hello, don't click to end, I'm textual to give you the full answer, 2-3 minutes.

    Corolla changed the drum, but there was still a sound of air leaking.

    I'm getting bored now, I don't even know where to do it.

    Did you hear this air leak in the car? Then you must be an air drum, the sealing is not good, so is the drum you replaced brand or original?
