Brake servo for a 05 corolla diesel

    So the brake servo for my 05 corolla diesel isn't working (brake peddle rock hard).

    my mechanic has done a lot of work testing this, he even got a second corolla, and ran a pipe from the vacumn pump on the other to see if it was the pump, but it made no difference.

    My mechanic was quoted 800 euro for a new one from keary's. Is this a typical price?

    Is there somewhere that you could get on for a better price?

    What do people think of going for a second hand one?

    Price is typical, this part is often expensive and usually dealer only I think. Second hand on the other hand should be OK, its not very often you'll see faulty vacuum servo

    just in case anyone google's this in 5 years time, I got a servo through micksgarage.ie for €70.

    mechanic fitted it yesterday and brakes are working properly now.

    I suppose the fact that there is very little call for a brake servo made the price so cheap.
