Morning all,

 

I was getting an occasional hard brake pedal and lack of assistance and through the forum diagnosed a split servo pipe. Ordered, took mine off, noticed it was badly split, new one fitted and I was amazed. Brake pedal soft and responsive  like I never remembered!

 

A week later I’m getting no servo assistance randomly. Usually on start up but also periodically. Pipe is very secure so I can’t understand why. 

 

I attach a picture of a pipe also around the tandem pump that I noticed was damaged by clips. I’ve moved the clips to prevent further damage but could this be related? I don’t know what this pipe does?  

 

Thanks

hard to remember but  I think there is a small non return valve in/near the T which can get crudded up

That damaged pipe looks like part number 6Q0122447CE which is a coolant pipe.

Thanks! 

 

..and explains why I can’t find it in vacuum line diagrams. 

 

So. That’s not the cause of my now poor braking again and poor spool up of turbo at low speeds. 

 

Rechecked all visible vacuum lines and all seem securely connected. Hmm
