Yes...I do press in the button and when I SLOWLY pull up on the brake I always hear a loud "POP"...as if something is breaking free from. Sort of like when you wash your car and the first time you drive it the brakes have formed a slight rusted "bond" to your rotors and the car will have to "break" free form the rust.
The problem is that the "pop" is VERY LOUD and very CONSISTENT.
When I do park the car and I use the handbrake, the car does not slip. The brake seems to hold the car just fine. Of course I park in gear most of the time as a precaution.
I guess what I am looking for is for someone to quickly explain how this brake works and where I should look for potential hang-ups in the system. I have the Boxster manuals on CD, but have searched to no avail as to how this e-brake system actually works. I assume it is a very simple system...but before I crawl under this thing (again) I want to know what I am looking for rather than just taking wild guesses.
Thanks!
