Hi Guys,
Brakes become hard after 2 or 3 presses. in most cases while parking.
i'm inclined to start with the vacuum pump 1st before the Booster.
Is the V.Pump a serviceble part or not?

Also I noticed that it also pumps air to the Actuators and Fog lights. Could there be a leak along those pipes ?

Hi Guys,
I decided i'd take off the Vacuum pump and see how its works.
The Vacuum pump is actually responsible for all the actuators aswell so it could be the difference between your turbo kicking or not at all.

i took the vacuum pump apart and basically cleaned out the entire thing including the air channels. put it back together, made sure the seals were still ok .

I've had perfect brakes since then.
I hope this helps the next person before spending your hard earned cash.
