Hello everyone
I have a 90 m30. Vg30e
recently my brake pedal has been stiff after being parked for a couple of hours.
but when my car is on, it is fine. Its leaving my car for a couple of hours and then it becomes hard to push down.
any ideas?
thanks

Re: Stiff brake pedal (driftkaztik)
Your brake booster is losing vacuum somehow, either the diaphram or the hose.... Obviously check the hose first.

Re: Stiff brake pedal (driftkaztik)
If it is stiff when the engine is off and not stiff when the engine is running then its normal. After the engine is turned off you have about 2-3 pedal pumps untilthe stored vacuum is used.
