Re: LN65 Hilux Brake Booster

My 2004 2.7 also has a hissing sound, associated with braking. I have not investigated the origin yet. I don't hear it while driving, most probably due to road noise. I hear it mostly when stopping at home. The vehicle only has 121 000 km on the clock, but the master cylinder has been replaced, due ...

Sorry to hear about your 2.7! Agree on the kms. When I bought mine I was told 500 - 600 000 easily. It hasn't reached 100k yet. If its not an Automark vehicle, was there any other warrentee applicable? Remember, it's not always the dealer who's at fault. Previous owners also tend to trade there crap...
