| Leak test performed by operating brake |
| –
| Press brake pedal repeatedly („pump the brake servo dry“) until there is no more servo assistance and the brake pedal is heavy. |
| –
| Press the brake pedal down approx. 20 mm out of the rest position. |
| –
| Keep the force on the pedal constant for about 20 seconds. |
| The brake pedal travel should not become longer. |
| –
| Press pedal with substantial foot pressure. |
| –
| Keep the force on the pedal constant for about 20 seconds. |
| The brake pedal travel should not become longer. |
| The visual inspection of the brake system must be repeated if the brake pedal resistance collapses during any of the tests. |
| If no leaks are then found during the test, the brake master cylinder probably has a leak and must be renewed. |
Caution | Ensure that no brake fluid enters the brake servo when renewing the brake master cylinder. |
