9 Intermediate Piece

10 Bracket

Allocation, refer to the parts catalog.

11 Bolt

8 Nm

12 Hex Flange Bolt

9 Nm

13 Rubber Insulation

14 Bracket

Allocation, refer to the parts catalog.

15 Gasket

For the brake booster.

16 Brake Booster

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

On gas engines, vacuum is supplied from the intake manifold.

Vehicles with a 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 the engine turned off, press the brake pedal firmly several times (to exhaust the vacuum in the unit).

- Press and hold the brake pedal with average foot pressure and start the engine. If the brake booster is working properly, the 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.

Connection for the vacuum hose.

18 Vacuum Hose

Insert into the brake booster.
