Volks, I have an issue with my brakes on my 81 westy. They work, but not as well as they should. No air in the lines, new components all the way around. Another listee has an 83 AC vanagon, that I have driven, and it is apparent to me that I have a brake booster issue. There is a pressure loss, somewhere in it, or in the lines to it. I have looked over the plastic tubes, and see no evidence of cracks or wear points. The checkvalve as well seems ok. Is there a test that I can perform to test it before the removal process? It is a pretty decent sized job, and I just want to be sure before I tackle it. Maybe attaching a vacuum pump to the booster line? Any ideas would be helpful.
