servo break assistent

Does anybody know how to check if the servo break assistent is working?

I have one, but don't know if it's working well.

Vonkr,
since the unit is out of the car I can not come up with anything better than to check that the diaphragm is OK. Put it under vaccum and see that it holds it.

Hmm, I see what I can do / check. I understand that the best way to check it, is
build it in and try :mrgreen:

The problem is that somebody wants to sell it, but lives a few hundred miles away.
(in another country) So sending a broken part won't make us both happy.

You could simply connect the air suction line from the servo to your intake manifold (same connection as warm up air valve) - it should not rise the idle if tight.

Hi Ronald,
A late reply, I am not a daily forum visitor. I do have a similar servo unit. Problem is, that you need a different set of foot pedals (don't know if that's te right word) and probably some other stuff as well to make this work. Over the past 12 years that I own a 411 I have not seen this item come by at eBay or Marktplaats.
By mistake, I once bought a master cylinder for the servo unit; if you happen to need this, it's available.
greetings, Jan Peter

hello Jan Peter,

Thanks for the advice, but... it's sold and on his way to Norway... :mrgreen:
the guy who bought it, said that some type2 components will also fit for this one...
So I hope it's working... :?
