Not when the engine is off, but only when the engine is running. The brakes seem fine without the engine tunring ocver, but once that occurs, all pressure is lost ________________________________________ TEAM 205 GTi-5TEAM Phase 1 GTi-6 xbox Live tag: SilverGTi6 |

Looking in your photos, i can't see you have your servo vacume hose connected to the engine. That will be your problem, or if you do you have a major leak some where. It won't be a leak in the brake lines if there is a pedal when its not running.Al ________________________________________ 205 GTI6Primera GT Xsara VTS 306 GTI6 |

Al The servo hose comes off the inlet, to the vac pump amp valve junction, then to the servo itself ________________________________________ TEAM 205 GTi-5TEAM Phase 1 GTi-6 xbox Live tag: SilverGTi6 |

I had very similar symptoms as you when my brake bias valve was seized because it was preventing me bleeding the rear brakes properly |

You don;t need to have the vacume connected to the engine at all, I never run this on anything, Even my 306 I've blanked it off, If the vacume pump is good enough for a Derv then it's much better than the inlet manifold and having measured it, they provide a huge amount ideal for left foot braking without running out of assistance ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |
