Initial publication
Customer states:
• After a short stationary period, the vehicle sporadically does not start and there is a hard brake pedal concern.
Technical Background
Due to dirt particles in the non-return valve in the vacuum hose for the brake servo, the vacuum in the brake servo
cannot be held on a parked vehicle.
When starting the vehicle the usual brake force is not enough to get the start authorization of the brake light
switch.
Normally, a vacuum of 600 to 950 mbar is reached.
Depending on the parking position (slope) or the user behavior the vehicle is parked with a small vacuum within 12
hours the vacuum may drop by up to 400 mbar.
