Still crap brakes. So I decided to do a vacuum test on the recently installed new booster using a hand vacuum pump and gauge. BOOM . The new booster had an issue. It wouldn’t hold vacuum. I was lucky enough that I had another new spare one . I tested it and it held vacuum overnight. After installing the booster I finally have brakes. So I guess even though the parts were new they still were defective. I’m kicking myself as I didn’t think of it earlier. hope this helps Mark Hi Shep, where did you get the tester. I have suspected my booster is dodgy since I installed it two years ago and would like to test it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can buy the cheap hand pump vac gauges at most automotive stores. 1 bigmal reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
