Go home earlier and could hear a noise.
Had a look under the bonnet and the pipe from the brake servo to inlet manifold was cracked.
Quick question does this need to be a hard plastic pipe, I have replaced it with 8mm fuel hose (high pressure) as Skoda cannot supply a delivery date for a new pipe.
:undecided:
-
What is the internal diameter of the plastic pipe?
I would expect the rubber hose to fine as a temporary measure.

8mm as that is the size of the fuel pipe that fits all ok, not sure if the plastic hose is a fraction smaller.

Try fitting it, and then test the brakes thoroughly :grin:

It is fitted and have done 40miles all ok, not sure if that is good or bad.

Probably ok then.
The only problem i can see is when the rubber hose gets older it might collapse internally, leading to a loss of brakes.
That won't happen for years though.

Well Skoda have tracked one down, need to collect in the morning.

Cool :smiley:

Turned out to be the wrong pipe, looks like it is modified now into 3 parts and one part is no longer available.
So the hunt is on for a s/h one.
