The other morning I felt my rear brakes binding on moving off, they did release but my brakes then felt below par for the next couple of braking actions. On the drive home the brakes were fine and have been since. However when I press the brake pedal I can hear a noise of air that I can't remember hearing before, however this may have been the first time I've driven the van without any music or radio so not 100% sure on that, and the binding brake may just be a coincidence.
I'd washed the car on my drive the day before and sloshed a lot of soapy water around the wheels, it was very cold during the following night which may or may not have any bearing on the brakes.
The noise isn't there all the time - only when I press the pedal. It's a swooshing sucking noise of air on pushing the pedal in, and it stops when pedal movement stops. Internet investigations vary from 'this is normal' to 'this is not normal'. I had the van in for its service today and asked them to look at it, the dealers have advised brake pads 50% worn but operating normally and recommended a strip/clean at £85.
Is the noise normal when pressing the T6 brake pedal?
