Diagnostics
First you should check for the part leakage. Inspect the surface of the part. It should have no drips, cracks and damage. Check the tightness of cover seal to the pump casing.
To determine whether the part is working correctly, it is necessary to remove the dashboard and disconnect the pump hose from the brake servo. Then start the car, warm up the engine and put your finger to the end of the hose. The properly working pump must suck the finger. Otherwise it is necessary to repair or replace the part.
Further diagnosis is possible only in a service shop. Specialists with the help of a gauge will measure the level of air inside the vacuum pump to determine if there is a fault.
Repair and replacement of the vacuum pump
In case of a small damage the part can be restored independently. This will require a special repair kit. But if its value is equal to the price of a new part, replacing the item is more reasonable.
If the vacuum pump is combined with a generator, it is necessary to turn to professionals for recovery operations.
IInstalling the new part by oneself is difficult: it is located in a hard-to-reach place. In addition, the improper installation of the pump is fraught with engine failure. For this reason, the part replacement is best to produce in a service shop.
