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).
–  If there are any complaints, replace the brake servo unit.

Check the operation of the brake assistance
–  With the engine running (full vacuum support must be guaranteed) forcefully apply the brake pedal. While doing so, a "click" must be audible (the brake assistance is activated).
If no "click" is audible, then the brake assistance is defective and the brake servo unit must be replaced completely.
When subsequently releasing the brake pedal, a considerably reduced force is exerted onto the foot from the brake pedal when braking.
