[QUOTE="Iceduke, post: 625024, member: 3721"] if its hard breaking or more effort to stop the car and the pedal is spongy then its either theres air in the system, old brake fluid or the brake servo(black round thing) has gone kaput. The vacuum pump does not need replacement, you can just get your mech to take it out and replace the 2 seals (1 big and 1 small) for fraction of the price. Its only a mechanical device with no spring whatsoever so need not replacing. Brand new vacuum pump costs at least 1k..both seals only RM13 ;) Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
