TriggerFish Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Possibly a fault with the vacuum actuator? (Assuming it's vacuum controlled, not electronic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve320cd Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've just noticed I have a issue now with the brakes, seems like the pedal hardly moves after sitting idle for a while and they hardly come on, have to rev the engine (build up a bit of a vacuum) then they work fine, are the egr and brakes connected in some way? I know that the brakes have a vacuum as well but wonder if they run off the same valve/pipe that may be leaking?

steve320cd Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 any ideas guys? also has anyone got a write up on how to replace the vacum hose from the EGR, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig_09 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) If I was you I would remove the inlet manifold and then all the vacuum pipes will be easy to access. You can then check every vacuum pipe for leaks. If you haven't already blanked the swirl flaps it's a good idea to do this the same time aswel as clean out the inlet and EGR valve. If you find a swirl flap blank guide it will have instructions about removing the inlet manifold. It's not a difficult job to do ?

Tewkes Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Is it wise to Chang vac pipes? My cars done 180 odd k and nev changed. If if so where can I get them from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
