Title: Brake Servo Vacumn Pipe. No brakes! , Vacumn advance on dizzy?
Post by: rich_4130 on 08 June 2007, 17:45

Hey, I have a 1991 1.6 Driver. Been running rough lately, so after a bit of checking I found the vacumn pipe between the brake servo, and the inlet manifold had split. While fixing it, one of the 90deg pipes has cracked and fallen off, the one which is connected to the distributor, via thin tubing, to the vacume diaphram bit on the outside.

Soon as this went I had no brakes, so It needs sorting asap really, at the moment I have taped it up..

Whats the easiest way of fixing this? I have the whole pipe, from servo to inlet manifold, that I got off an Ibiza in the local scrappy, but it's not identical, and to fit it I will have to remove the master cylinder to get to it, which I dont really want to do.

Can anybody help! would be very appreciated.

This is what I mean!

Anyway to get to it without removing loads of bits?

I have a weber fitted, and I cant seem to remove the black tubing above the yellow valve section to swap them over.

Cheers.
Rich
