Hi can anyone please save me time and energy by letting me know if a brake booster from a 1.9 diesel will work on my 1.6 petrol felicia as I have one spare and I have a hissing sound coming from the rear of the servo. The brakes are still working at the moment but I'm sure the servo is about to die. Thanks in advance Jackos.

Thanks Dfylaktos judging by this the same part is suitable for all vehicles so the one I have off the diesel pick up should fit . Jackos

Unless the brake servo on the Felicia is different to what I know on old British cars it is just an assist to help with reducing the amount of leg presure to the brake pedal so the brakes should continue to work but you might need to push the brake pedal sooner and harder than when the servo was fully working to achieve the same braking that you are used to on the vehicle. When the brake servos sometimes go faulty they can have other effects.

Always remember that the tyres have a great deal of effect on the braking (and suspension and steering) performance which is why you always want good quality tyres kept in good condition (and correxct pressures). Old tyres even with plenty of tread depth left can be aged and gone hard with greatly reduced performance.

On some vehicles, it can be quite frightening to feel just much more foot pressure is required if the brake servo fails.

Part of the problem is your leg muscles become totally accustomed to the assistance provided.

It can be very educational to do a test somewhere totally safe and at low speed, switch off the engine, deplete the reserve vacuum, then try to stop!

Good point.

I totally agree, I was thinking of this case as reduced assistance rather than complete loss of all assistance.

The vehicle is set up for this assist to be fully working.

It's the same with loss of power steering assistance.

That's the thing with all these assists (and there are so many with more modern vehicles) great when they're fully working but not so great or good when they aren't fully working (and computer controlled adds another skip full of PITA and misery).

I had an old car (called a "classic") with a brake servo and someone else had the same model (but different variant) without servo and just to see I done a brake test in mine and jumped straight into the other car to test for difference in braking and allowing for the slight varince and with and without servo the braking distances on the road were the same but obviously the pedal feel and pressures were different.

As I used to be used to swaping from "classic" car use to modern new car use i always done a minor test of the brakes almost immediately after driving off which was easy from home as there's a T-junction not too many yards away. I started this when i'd been driving only a "classic" for a few weeks and then jumped into a nearly new modern car and gently braked at that T-junction and was too suprised at how quickly the car slowed. 😄 Nothing was wrong with either car's brakes they just varied so much in pedal effort and feel.

@Jackos that was my thought and a pleasant one because according to the shop it fits.

are the 1.3 and 1.6 brake servos the same?
