How do I know if I need a new Brake Booster? I purchased my 2000 V70 over 2 years ago and never liked the weak brakes. I just had it inspected and got pads and rotors all around for $510. The mechanic said the calipers are ok.
Well, it seems now the brakes are weaker than before. Sure it stops... but sometimes I have to press REALLY hard. It's been 100 miles so I'm sure they are broken in.
HOW do I get these brakes to be more powerful? Also there is sometimes (not always) a clicking noise as I come to a stop (which did not go away with the new brakes). There is also a "click" noise in the console when I step on the brake pedal while parked. Is that normal?

thanks,
well... I hear no hissing... so that's good.
Maybe the brakes are not being bled properly... or there's a vacuum leak.
Can old brake fluid make a difference...
