How to perform an operating check and remove or install a power brake booster on Volkswagen Passat?

In order to do an operating check, press the brake pedal multiple times with the engine off to verify that no difference in the distance of the pedal reserve. Then switch the pedal and turn on the engine, in case the pedal sinks a little, everything is fine but in case it does not, look at the vacuum hose and the vacuum at the intake manifold with a vacuum gauge. To check air tightness, turn the engine on and to turn the engine off after one or two minutes, then depress the brake pedal slowly many times: as the pedal gets less and less in depressing, the booster is airtight. Also when running the engine press the brake pedal and turn off the engine keeping the pedal depressed and in case there is no change in the pedal travel after keeping the pedal in the hold position of 30 seconds, then the engine booster is airtight. To remove the power brake booster pushrod, one will need a special tool to unattach it to the brake pedal, and therefore one must make sure that the tool is available prior to the setup. In case not available, it can be built using materials that are easily available. To start with the master cylinder, take it off, then take off the vacuum hose connection very carefully by pulling out of the grommet in the booster. To dismantle the vehicle, unscrew the two bolts of the booster and reach behind the brake pedal with the special tool to detach the pushrod ball of the pedal then return to the engine compartment and remove the gasket on the rear. To install, ensure that the grommet sealing the vacuum hose is not damaged and change accordingly. Measure the distance between the booster mounting surface and the end of the pushrod ball head, it should be 6.26 +/- 0.020 inches, adjust the length of pushrod. Install a new gasket on the back of the booster unit, reinstall it on the firewall and tighten the mounting bolts. Install the booster pushrod and the brake pedal and make sure the pedal is firmly hooked, fit the brake light switch and the master cylinder. Then, placing the vacuum hose back into the booster, carefully, without knocking out the sealing grommet. Lastly, empty the brake hydraulic system, activate the engine to probe to a vacuum leak at the vacuum hose-to-booster grommet and ensure the functionality of the brake system in a secluded location before going back to the regular service.
