  • Brake Booster (servo) Failure...

    Hi guys!

    I've been doing a lot of work on my 1976 Golf LS since I bought it.
    (Not like crazy restoring stuff like you guys! just like renewing and replacing old parts..)

    Now I found my brake booster is F$#%ed..
    Brake pedal is really hard to press and makes idle rough on stastionary, poor brake performance...

    I've searched but only info of replacement posts with other boosters and master cylinders.
    I know you guys would like to upgrade with better ones
    but I don't think I need a better one to put on. I just want to repair my booster..
    (actually lazy to replace the master cylinder and breed the system since I just did it..)

    Any idea to get a repair kit? or a new booster (impossible for sure)

    help me, please

    cheers,

            I went to a Pick-a-part type wrecker that had a few Mk1 Golfs and pulled a booster off one of those - luckily it worked fine.
