The vacuum brake booster is an indispensable part in the braking system of many cars. It is necessary that when the brake pedal is depressed an additional force is created.The mechanisms of the brake system will operate quickly and efficiently ensuring that the vehicle stops in a minimum time. Like any other detail of the car the vacuum brake booster can break down. Most often this is due to the continued operation of the machine and the part without replacement. If the amplifier fails the brakes will not stop but controlling the stopping speed of the car will become somewhat more difficult. When there is a suspicion of failure of the vacuum brake booster it must be checked and then decide whether to repair or replace it.
Symptoms of a fault in the vacuum brake booster
Due to the continuous operation of the vacuum brake booster without replacement defects may appear in it. The most common problem is the mechanical damage to the hose connection, the connecting amplifier and the intake manifold of the engine. Mechanical damage or the formation of cracks in the rubber will lead to the fact that the working chamber of the mechanism will not create a vacuum and this is necessary for its competent work. Determine the malfunction of the brake servo amplifier by the following features. The car began to slow down worse with the previous effort of pressing the pedal, when the brake pedal is depressed sibilant sounds are heard at which moment the engine speed can increase, The car Increases fuel consumption when the machine is in the previous mode. In some situations there may be other problems in the operation of the car due to problems with the vacuum brake booster. Thus it is always suggestible to consider on MPF Products to maintain the capabilities of essential part in the car.
Conclusion: tests to determine
Checking the vacuum brake booster is a simple procedure that even a novice motorist can handle. To determine the malfunctioning work of the part it does not need to be removed from the machine. It is enough to perform simple tests indicating a problem. The car needs to start and allow it to work at idle around five to seven minutes. Then the engine is muffled and the driver needs to fully depress the brake pedal to create a vacuum in the brake booster.When the car engine is muffled it is necessary to press the brake pedal several times. Then the pedal is squeezed out as much as possible and the engine is started. If there are no problems in the operation of the vacuum brake booster a vacuum will be created in the system.
