Re: BRAKE SERVO 2.0 HDi estate.

The vacuum is held in by a one way valve at the master cylinder. they occasionally leak air the wrong way which doesnt matter when engine is running. when mine leaked it did so immediately when engine stopped running. i could hear the hum as the vacuum sucked air through the solenoid valve for EGR a...
