Re: Brakes acting up! 300 85

posted by  someone claiming to be Pete Fluitman on  Sun Apr 15 08:32 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Sounds like a dodgy servo. Run the car without touching the brakes. Switch off the engine. Press the brake pedal.The pedal should go hard in 3 or 4 applications as you exhaust the vacuum in the servo. Keep your foot on the brake and re-start the engine. Your foot should feel the pedal go down as the vacuum is built back up.

If the servo is fault take a look at the rubber bung on the servo body where the vacuum pipe goes in, it splits.

Regards
