Leaking brake booster repair?
« on: September 30, 2021, 09:48:31 »
Hi guys,

My brake booster has a vacuum leak which is also causing the brake to jam. When you step on the brakes the rpm goes up.

Does anyone know if I can get the brake booster refurbished? Would appreciate your help.
I am based in Malaysia & no one here can do it.

Thanks

If rpms go up slightly and for a brief moment - it is ok.

Hi Pawel,
Unfortunately that is not the case. It remains high as long as you press the brake pedal.

Right now my mechanic has tried everything including servicing all the brake callipers and brake pump but my brakes are still binding. They said I should get the brake booster fixed.
