Brake Booster

The brake booster is installed in the driver side of the engine compartment, on the engine bulkhead.

The brake booster is a dual diaphragm unit with a boost ratio of 8.0: 1 and 28 bar loop-in in all engine variants. The input push rod is connected to the brake pedal. The output push rod locates in the primary piston of the brake master cylinder. A vacuum pipe, installed in a grommet in the front face of the housing, connects the brake booster to the intake manifold and electric vacuum pump (petrol models) or the engine driven vacuum pump (diesel models).
