9 Intermediate piece

10 Bracket

Allocation.

11 Bolt, 5 Nm

12 Bolt, 8 Nm

13 Buffer

14 Gasket

For brake booster.

15 Tandem brake booster

Including brake pressure release solenoid (F84) and brake pressure magnetic coil (N247) (not interchangeable).

On gas engines, vacuum is supplied from intake manifold.

Vehicles with gas engine and automatic transmission are equipped with a brake system vacuum pump.

On Diesel engines, a vacuum pump is installed for vacuum creation.

Function test:

- With engine switched off, press brake pedal firmly several times (to deplete vacuum in tool).

- Press and hold brake pedal with average foot pressure and start engine. If brake booster is working properly, pedal will be felt to give noticeably under foot (booster assistance becomes effective).

Replace as a unit in the event of malfunction (previously, check all vacuum lines).

Removing and installing, refer to --> [ Brake Booster ] Brake Booster.
