Manual Transmission Drivers-(Survey) What rpm range do u drive in?
hey all,
i'm stumped by this! (94 XJ Sport, 5 speed, non-abs brakes)
When i first hit the brakes, something under the hood (or maybe on the brakes themselves...?) starts whistling, almost like a squealing belt but i replaced my serpentine belt with no avail. This picture is of what my best guess is but the noise has not given up:
I tried running a bead of silicone around the master cylinder because when i pull on that hose while its running it leaks air... so i figure that while i'm driving the pressure builds to the point that it sucks through elsewhere or just broke my seal where i can't tell. Has anyone had this thing apart? Usually, the whistling won't go away until i start moving again... this appears to be some sort of vacuum-assist setup for the brakes, correct?
