Hmmm.....this could be a real "female dog" to fix and I´d appreciate any insight or thoughts anyone might have
2 year old HSE with 22K km, and like zero problems till now....4 times in the last couple of months the servo asistance of the brakes whilst parking dissapeared....the brakes still work but you have to push real hard on the pedal....first time it happened to SHMBO she was not impressed.
Pumping the brake pedal did not help, then like 30sec later all fine!
Brake fluid level ok, no hissing/sucking noises....
Any way car is in the Dealer, and whilst I think they believe me it does not look easy to find an intermittent problem like this.
Talking to the cheif engineer at the dealer he explained that apart from the standard servo system there is also a pump?.....can anyone give some more info on this...
Oh and I´m fluent in how to use use the EPB now

Sounds very like the problem I had with my brakes earlier this year as when the proble first occured it was very similar to what you describe.

JuanT,
If you have a diesel engined D3, there should be a vacumn pump
to assist the braking system.
Where as with petrol engines, the vacumn pipe would be connected to
the inlet manifold. Tdi 130 conversion-full house, Disco 2, Freelander, D3 bullbar-spots-roof rack with spots-ladder-long range tank-swing out spare wheel carrier- upgraded tow bar-dash console-internal water tank-duel awnings-drawer system & T T.
