Brake vacuum assist 900 '91

posted by  someone claiming to be Phil Elliot on  Sat Dec 30 02:14 CST 2000 [RELATED]

G'Day from Hong Kong,

I've got a '91 960 Turbo that seems to have developed a vaccum leak in the barke booster unit. I noticed a few days ago that the brake pedal "jumped" up under my foot as I turned off the engine. I know have the sound of a vacuum leak coming from the top of the brake pedal or firewall area. I have taken the vacuum hose off the power assist unit and determined that from there to the engoine is fine.

What steps do I need to take to solve this?? I read on one of the boards that the older models could have a seal problem round the push rod. Does this apply to the 960 and if so where is this seal?

Thanks for your help,

Phil Elliot
