Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / June 2008306 1.9D - Brake Servo Replacement?
Has anyone had to replace the brake servo on a 306 1998 model? I hav seen from other postings that it has 4 bolts securing it to th bulkhead and that these may require access from the underside of th dashboard. What else does the replacing entail? Do I have to remove the brak master cylinder and therefore bleed the stsem afterwards? How lon does the job take Any experience would be appreciated. I am new to this forum as it i my daughters car and I have yet to see under the bonnet!! Sh reports a hissing sound from front which used to be only when he foot was off the brake, but now is there all the time. Faulty serv or split pipe? I have used a Ford forum site in the past and found it so useful... even posted a blow by blow account on how to replace the temperatur sensor, complete with photos, which is now included in the FAQ's Ther was previously so much confusion on this item that th epost wa long overdue Anyway, help on this brake servo would be much appreciated Before removing the servo check all the pipes as if it is just a pipe its better to replace a pipe than to remove the servo, > Foxy wrote > Has anyone had to replace the brake servo on a 306 1998 model? have seen from other postings that it has 4 bolts securing it to th bulkhead and that these may require access from the underside of th dashboard. > What else does the replacing entail?

Do you know what is involved in replacing the servo if it is tha which has failed Is the brake pedal very hard to push down ??it might be just a case of split pipe or a where the pipe goes into the servo the plastic bit might have a split in it.or rubber has worn out . > Foxy wrote > Has anyone had to replace the brake servo on a 306 1998 model? have seen from other postings that it has 4 bolts securing it to th bulkhead and that these may require access from the underside of th dashboard. > What else does the replacing entail?

The servo is held in by four nuts, not very easy to get at but not too bad. However the master cylinder needs to be removed from the servo. Now it is possible and I have done it, to remove the cylinder without disconnecting any pipes, but you have to be careful. It is better to disconnect and remove, but you must bleed afterward. > Foxy wrote > Has anyone had to replace the brake servo on a 306 1998 model? have seen from other postings that it has 4 bolts securing it to th bulkhead and that these may require access from the underside of th dashboard. > What else does the replacing entail?

Will probably remove the master cylinder an then bleed the system afterwards. Gives me an opportunity to replac the brake fluid at the same time Many thanks again Regard Fox |
