MrBen 0 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Yes, virtually every car built in the last 30 years has a servo! Link to post Share on other sites

Nerih 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 its the big black round thing that sits near ur brake fliud right? im with binliner, almost every car that uses hydralic brake fliud uses a vacuum servo. Link to post Share on other sites
MrBen 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 almost every car that uses hydralic brake fliud uses a vacuum servo.I'd qualify that as almost every 'modern' car does! I had both a mk2 Escort and a Mini which didn't, and must say the brake pedal feel is usually much nicer without a servo, but sadly they are expected these days so fat unfit people can drive!!

VR6Rich 3 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Why is your insurance company asking you if you have a brake servo fitted? Could understand it if you done an engine/brake upgrade or something. Link to post Share on other sites
pinto 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Depends....depends on what? the answer to the question is yes!You'll have to forgive my ignorance all my ABS experience is based around the Teeves Electromechanical system, where the brake pedal connects directly into the ABS pump/controller - no servo unit involvedI relised the VR6 does when I opened my bonnet this morning Link to post Share on other sites
