1.9 Tdi Brake Servo

[roy202]

Hi all ive got a 1.9 tdi 2001 servo that hisses like mad in the car and i think the time has now come to change it. ive only taken them out without the engine being present in the car at the time. can any one tell me if there is an easy way of changing it or is it a stressful job? and how long it takes?

 

thanks for looking roy

Hi there.

Are you sure it is the servo as there's a lot of vacuum pipes under there that could be leaking'

Looks a bit of job as you need to remove EGR valve.

I think you need to allow yourself a day as you will be working inside as well as under the bonnet, also if it's manual you need to remove clutch hydraulic pipe from master cylinder.

hi,

thanks for the advise it is a manual, i dont think its any other pipe as when i place my foot on the brake pedal it goes quite?!

ive got a spare servo from my 2002 1.9 tdi ghia galaxy which i scrapped unfortunatley. so ive not got to spend any money, just need to fit it in around the mrs and kids......
