Good day. When my car is idling and I press the brake pedal, the car makes a swoosh sound witch comes from the brake booster. When I keep the pedal depressed, the car revs higher then dies.

When driving and slowing down the brake booster does the same as when it is idling and cuts the engine off.

There are no leakages what so ever and I had the brakes bleed and it does the same thing afterwards.

Please assist me in this regard as I am careful of my and other road users safety.
I wish to thank u in advance for the time taken in perusing my question.

Regards
Carlo.

Youre brake booster has an internal vacuum leak at the diaphragm. Replace it. Cool car by the way. Opel sold kadetts here in the states way back when. Ive only ever seen pictures
