  • The brake booster vacuum pump leaking engine oil is common on FSI engines. Replacing an FSI vacuum pump, or the pump seal is a very easy DIY with just a couple of tools needed. In this video I will show you step by step how to replace a FSI vacuum pump, or seal. Big thanks to FCP Euro for sponsoring this video.

We replaced the oil cooler, oil filter housing and pressure converter electric valve. Vehicle is now running nicely with no more leaks or overheating. Problem is that the brake pedal is now very hard? Please advise? Thanks so much.

    This video stands out from so many others on this repair, simply because of the angle that you're able to show the pump removal/replacement procedure with.. specifically the hardest to reach bolt that requires that really dumb bracket (Why, Audi? Why?) to line up when putting the replacement back on! Didn't catch this on the first go, after watching your video, I saw the bracket and went OMG AHA! Ran right out to the garage and bam! After some lining up work, the screw finally threaded in.. thank you for being straightforward but showing all the critical areas!

Sure, this is a different vehicle than what I have, however they are CERTAINLY taking advantage of the fact that I am not only a novice to auto repairs, but that I am a woman as well.

    Thanks to your video I was able to get the courage to do this repair and completed it. As you pointed out, the extra black fitting one needs to be careful of not losing. The third screw attaching the vacuum pump to the engine at 4 o'clock is blind to access and must be very careful not to drop it, or the Torx drive one may be using on it. Those screws use a T27 wrench. I was able to save 700.00 from the dealer quoted repair, who said the part could not be rebuilt.

    Have you ever seen a VAG vacuum pump leak oil into the intake? On my 2011 Cayenne VR6, it was burning a quart in half an hour, and I found the path to be from the vacuum pump (after replacing the PCV diaphragm, and then bypassing the PCV/CCV, and finally arriving at plugging the vacuum pump). I'm not sure if it's a failed check valve, or there's something more complicated. Thanks!! At least this comment might help other frustrated VR6 owners thinking they need a rebuild.

    I work on BMW `s , and they use the exact same pump on some of their older models[ the E90`s] for the most time, the seal that will fail, is the seal under the large cover [ the one you didnt take off]
    And for some time , BMW didnt stock seals for this pump, you had to buy a brand spanking new pump !!
    So what we did in the shop, was buying the oil filter for that car , and using the seal that came with the filter, and used that - as the seal for the pump !
    On he E90 models , the pump sits at the rear of the engine , leaking oil on the exhaust !

    Thanks for the video! I took apart the entire pump to replace all three O-rings/gaskets on the pump and found that there was a substantial amount of oil inside the pump. After cleaning the outer portion of the pump, I re-oiled the internal chamber of the pump and added Permatex Engine assembly lube to all the moving parts and gaskets. Is oil inside the vacuum pump normal? Also, I stripped the threads in the hole on the engine block side of the bolt at 430oclock position. So I screwed that bolt in with blue loctight, but it certainly didnt feel tight like the other two bolts as I was tightening it. Should I be concerned about this? Thank you!

    Can i ask you a question to see if you can help me.
    Recently i found out that my brake booster hose was cracked and i bought a new one. I replaced it, but the new one has a breather valve and my old one didn't have it. In VW they say this is an upgrade and there is no more replacments like mine, and that i should just close the breather valve with a rubber cap.
    Is this for real? What is your advice?

New Zealand is hard to get the parts needed to fix oil leak problems. Oil leaks on the engine coolant inlet flange hose and drips off onto the ground. And there's a small leak just below the valve cover gasket on the cylinder head. Any ideas on what this issue would be? I am definetly leaking oil on the drivers side even oil leaking on alternator.

    You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, thank you for your great content, I've binged about 20 episodes so far this week. Do you think this repair is the same on the TSI version of this engine? I have an oil leak in this approximate area on my '13 Tiguan SE 4Motion. I believe the cause is the vacuum pump located behind the HPFP, the oil is spreading out and contaminating the engine compartment in a radial sort of pattern from there (with some obvious pooling spots and areas of lower impact due to bay topography.) From searching for parts, it looks like the TSI uses a more traditional looking gasket for a seal where the part you replaced in this video appears to be a standard type of O-ring. Aside from any general call outs you may have regarding the difference in approach to replacing a gasket from an O-ring, is there anything specific to the TSI (early 2013 CCTA w/Auto Trans. and 4 Motion AWD) that I should watch out for that is not called out in this repair on the FSI? Thanks in advance for anytime and consideration you can share!

      After searching again, it looks like the repair part/kit does consist of a O-ring style gasket, instead of the more traditional flat "manifold/valve cover" type gasket seal I was thinking of. I've been looking at hundreds of parts and websites the past couple days and probably mixed them up due to fatigue, hopefully that didn't make my question seem too far off base..

    Hi, related question. '07 jetta 1.6 bse, stiff brake pedal in the mornings, works ok when engine runs. Checked booster as recommended, seems ok. Changed vacuum valve+hose+ring where it enters into the booster. No better nor worse. Brakes ok. If i repeatedly press pedal hard and fast, a fiss can be heard. What should i do? Changing booster ? Thanks

    I used this video to learn how to fix my 2015 for Fusion that suddenly developed a hard brake.
    I ordered the part from partsgeek.com and waited a week for it to come.
    20 minutes off with the old part, and 20 minutes back on with the new part.
    Part Number for my 2015 Ford Fusion was : 119724-07964442
    Brand: Motorcraft
    Notes: Power Brake Booster Vacuum Pump
    Condition: New
    total was under $100.00 plus my time
    I watched the UA-cam above about replacing a similar part on an Audi/VW and it was almost exact, except the o-ring is not an o-ring in the Fusion part, and therefore you have to replace the part, not just the o-ring. The fusion version is a large o-ring with a smaller one attached
    like Oo
    Good luck.
    My perspective is that it is an easy fix - once you have the part.

    Hi there. I tried replacing my brake booster hose which had split in 2 places (2008 GTI FSI), but it broke off the nipple in the coolant flange, and it looks like a bear to try to replace. How hard would that be as a DIY for the flange? Thanks!

    Many thanks Charles for this tutorial and all the others. I have the same problem on my car but I read on several forums that it's usually the cover seal which fails. Is there any way to pressure test it? Or to distinguish which seal leaks?

    hello humble mechanic Love your shows anyhow I don't know any other way to get a hold of you as I'm not very tech savvy My 2014 TDI is having frequent DPF regens and the dealer tried to charge me $3,000 and said it was the thermostats and the air water you know radiator and saying that it wasn't getting up to 87° c well I proved them wrong it was getting up to 87 Celsius and it had a successful region several times they tried to charge me $3,000 so I stated that already and I thought it was complete crap they did not even take it on a road trip as I see the mileage so when I picked it back up I took it out on about a 50 mi ride and it successfully regent not to keep on going on I'm just wondering why is it that it's getting such frequent regions any help would be greatly appreciated also they tried to tell me that it was not under warranty now I am back to having failing regions quite often but sometimes you know regening and dropping back down to like 23% please help me also I only have about 58,000 mi on the vehicle and treat it like a baby I changed the oil way too often probably at about 2500 mi should go says it goes for 10,000 and I use the mobile one that is for the emission system synthetic and it's approved thanks sorry for any mistakes in my writing and keep up the good work

      They make seal kits. You can try that before replacing.

      Or bring it to a shop and ask them to recycle it. You can hold it for scrap but that is kinda pointless

      and at this point I'm wondering if this is causing a misfire too ?
      I've replaced all spark plugs , coil packs , manifold with new injectors. Purge vavle,
      (which I owe you a big thanks for )
      nd now this stinking p2400 comes rolling in . with a random misfire code.
      now , i know i gotta do a once over, retrace mysteps with the hoses and lines.
      but could this be my road to finally be able to pass smog in California...
      can this dang brake vacuum pump be making my leak detection pump go off ?
      could it be causing misfire ?
      well ill give it a go nd find out .
      thanks for giving me the confidence, to understand nd work on my car.

    Could a leaking vacuum pump seal cause oil pressure warnings? I've already replaced my valve cover gasket now I'm going to replace this seal. I've already changed my oil pump to a new one and have gotten oil pressure warnings randomly rarely when driving extremely slow or something. Car has driven fine since I've had it for years. If it's not this I will look towards the sensor next

    Thanks Humble for the excellent video. I'm in the process of doing the whole intake camshaft swap and my pump was leaking like crazy. Now I know how to rebuild it. Also, (drum roll) I broke that small coolant nipple while removing the HPFP like you said to be careful of. Lol Although a little late for me, its a good thing to mention. Thanks again brother.
