Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    That Amazon kit may not be suitable. You need vacuum rated tubing - any motor factors will have it in a range of diameters. Usually it's the smaller tubes that perish so I'd go and replace these first before getting into the more expensive components.

    Chimaera,
    non return valve is broken as you see cable tie around it and when brake paddle is pressed I can hear noise of air sucked in.

    Ah. In that case I'd probably get it from the dealer. €45 isn't that expensive really.

    I agree, get it from dealer(or scrap yard), that servo hose and valve is probably the only one I wouldn't replace with vacuum hoses from car accessory shop.. If you are also saying you have vacuum leak elsewhere,, well then any car parts shop has reinforced vacuum hoses very cheap, so check size and buy length desired...

    I have replaced all vacuum pipes and all is good but with one little problem: vacuum connection to brake servo is through rubber connector (see image) this part is bit perished and I had to fix it with cable tie as it wouldn’t hold vacuum pipe tight enough, do you know what this part is called?
