Hey guys,
Ive been experiencing a hard brake pedal in my 98 V6 Accord before start-up. Its like someone jumped in my car and pumped the brakes several times. I know its probably the brake booster losing vacuum, but my question is that I was wondering if this is a big deal? Ive researched that it could be the check valve. If I wont lose power assist while I'm driving, I don't really care.
My case is weird though. It just started recently, and I thought it might be the cold (averaging around -20C), but today we got a lot of snow so it was mild, around -7C, and even when I parked the car for just 40 mins, when I returned, the pedal was rock hard.
So should I get this checked out? How serious is this problem? And how much would it be to fix this problem?
