hi

new to forum.

I have recently bought a 2010 alphard camper excellent van.

Has anyone had a problem with the servo when stopped at lights etc for a period the break pedal becomes softer.

sounds like a servo leak.. does it get immediately better when you rev the car?? if yes then I would imagine you may need to have a brake servo looked at or replaced with new or used unit.
 

get it tested by a garage first

when revving goes back to normal.

yes sounds like the servo unit... had the same on a jaguar once,.. ran it for a while but a few times it was scary and had to quickly rev the car to stop.

 

to be honest a used one will probably work fine as i have not seen many cases of them failing.

looks something like this (but may not be exact so please check)
