What causes vacuum pump failure?
The most common cause of vacuum pump failure occurs due to broken belts, electrical problems inside the unit, or vacuum hoses that fail. The pump operates constantly if the engine is on, so wear and tear will eventually cause it to fail. When this happens, you’ll notice a reduction in braking performance.
Why do vacuum pumps need oil?
The proper oil in a vacuum pump acts as a blotter and absorbs all of the moisture and non-condensables. As the oil becomes saturated with these contaminants, the efficiency of the pump is dramatically reduced. Maintaining clean oil in the pump ensures that the pump will operate at peak efficiency and prolong its life.
