brake booster life Tue, 09 September 2003 03:29 Go to next message
whould anyone know why my brake boosters only seem to be lasting 2-3months at a time?

only thing i've been told that almost seem possible is that exhaust fumes are getting to it.

anyone??

What's causing them to fail? Have you pulled one apart?

nah, i havent actually. seems that'll be the go, would it be obvious if i did?

i know there on the way out becuase the brake pedal returns slower than it should until it gets to the point where i have to pull the pedal back with my foot.

maybe the seals are jsut stuffed.. ill check it out. i usually just buy 2nd hand ones, but it'd be nice to fix the problem...

Maybe try a one way valve on the vac line to the booster, if it doesn't have one already. It might stop nasties making its way into the booster.
Make sure you put it the right way 'round though!
