q   removing and installing - LHD version → Chapter
q   removing and installing - RHD version → Chapter
q   Assignment → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts
q   on petrol engines the required negative pressure is drawn from the induction pipe
q   Diesel engines are fitted with a vacuum pump or tandem pump for fuel and negative pressure supply
Functional test:
–  With the engine off press down brake pedal repeatedly with force (this reduces the pressure already present in the device).
–  Now hold the brake pedal in brake position using a medium foot pressure and start the engine. If the brake servo unit operates perfectly the brake pedal must yield noticeably under your foot (servo boost takes effect).
q   if there are faults replace completely
q   disconnect from brake pedal or clip onto brake pedal → Chapter
q   Non-return valve (in vacuum hose); Functional test → Chapter
