Subject: I said WHOA MULE!!! by 92Polo on 2013/2/5 18:54:14 I started my car this morning and noticed it seemed to hit a higher idle than normal for a few seconds before it settled down. As I backed out of my garage I soon found out why, my power brakes are gone! I popped the hood and checked the vacuum hose, it's still connected although I can't rule out a crack in it somewhere. I'll have to check it all over with a vacuum gauge when I get home, but I'm afraid that my 21 year old brake booster has just given up the ghost. I vaguely remember people saying that the parts store boosters are crap, and they go out fairly quickly. My local parts stores offer Cardone brand, which carries a lifetime warranty. Are they really completely junk? Does anybody know of a metal booster for these cars? Mine is a '92. Also any tips and tricks for replacement? Looks like a PITA. Thanks in advance! |
