Check of the brake amplifier

Area round the brake amplifier with the engine of 1,6 l: 1 – a tank with brake fluid; 2 – brake amplifier; 3 – a vacuum tube from an inlet collector; 4 – the ejector for strengthening of the lowered pressure


The same look, as in the photo above, but with the six-cylinder engine: 1 – a tank with brake fluid; 2 – brake amplifier; 3 – a vacuum tube from an inlet collector; 4 – the returnable valve in a vacuum tube


 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. The engine has to be switched off.
  2. Press a pedal of a brake of 10 times.
  3. Hold a pedal wrung out and start the engine.
  4. If the brake amplifier is serviceable, the pedal has to move a little. If the pedal does not fall, the brake amplifier is faulty.
  5. At failure of the brake amplifier defect, most likely, is covered in system of the lowered pressure: the vacuum hose from an inlet collector to the brake amplifier is not tight, the returnable valve in a vacuum hose, defect in a rubber ring between the main brake cylinder and the servo-driver or a membrane of the brake amplifier is not tight.
  6. For check of the returnable valve remove a vacuum hose from the servo-driver.
  7. It is blown, suction is inadmissible.
  8. The returnable valve is on sale only together with a vacuum hose.
  9. To replace the damaged rubber ring between the main brake cylinder and the amplifier, it is necessary to dismantle the cylinder.
  10. In summary still defect of the most brake cylinder remains. In this case repair is impossible – it needs to be replaced.

Dismantle of the brake amplifier

For weakening of a rod of brake pressure upon pedals of a brake of Audi uses the special tool 3289. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do without this tool. Sequence of actions:

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Dismantle the main brake cylinder.
  2. Dismantle a vacuum hose.
  3. Unscrew two fixing bolts of the brake amplifier (TORX T45).
  4. Dismantle a pocket under a control panel at the left (the head Salon).
  5. Disconnect the switch of fires of stoplights and valves of ventilation of system of adjustment of speed on a brake pedal.
  6. Install the special tool 3289 on the brake pedal lever. Now it is possible to disconnect press a rod of the brake amplifier from a pedal (pull a pedal back).
  7. Take out the brake amplifier from a motive compartment.
  8. If the new brake amplifier is installed, length of a rod of its management needs to be adjusted in the dismantled state.
  9. The distance between the end of a rod of management (it has to stand vertically) and an adjacent surface with two cut openings has to make 158,5 mm (the admission of 0,5 mm).
  10. After adjustment tighten a lock-nut.
  11. Before installation slightly grease a hinged finger.
  12. Use a new clamp for a hinged finger and new samokontryashchiyesya nuts. Put a new sealing ring between the brake amplifier and the main brake cylinder.
