Griling Remote Servo 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Maggie on  Sun Feb 18 22:57 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Hi,

After a week of standing my brakes have failed on the Amazon Estate. I have no pedal pressure at all. The master cylinder has no fluid in it - so must have leaked out. I have checked all ines and there is no evidence of a leak and most of the system is new anyway. I have looked at the 4 wheels closely but not removed them or the drums and again can see no eveidence of a leak.

This led me to look at the servo. No obvious leaks, but when I removed the metal plate on the cast body of the servo, where the vacum pipe joins the front and back of the unit together, a small amount of what looked like brake fluid leaded out. Is it possible for the servo to fail in such a way that you suck brake fluid onto the intake manifold and hence I have used the brake fluid up with no external leaks?


If so - my servo has the pressed vacuum bowl on the front not the bolted one - can I still repair this?

Thanks for your help!
