Hello, My Gti-6 has a hissing noise (like a compressed air leak) whenever the engine is turned on that appears to be comming from down by the brake pedals and it goes away when the brakes are pressed. Could this be my brake cervo or something else, and if so is it easy to replace?

Sounds like the servo. Check the vacuum pipes going to it from the pump on the end of the exhaust cam.

Yes

Most likely the servo if the sound is dissapearing when you brake. Does the pedal feel harder than usual?
