Hydroboost Accumulator
« on: June 19, 2015, 08:47:14 pm »
Is it possible to just replace the accumulator?

Pretty sure it is just my accumulator because the brakes work fine as long as the motor is running. Motor stops and pedal dives. No 4 safety pushes here. Boost is gone as soon as the pump stops turning.

Pretty sure that is how it is supposed to be.  Vacuum boost works until all the vacuum is used up/lost.  Hydroboost is lost as soon as the pump/engine stops
