leaking servo.

Postby detritus21 » Thu Mar 25, 2010 3:17 pm

My MK3 tipper appears to have a leaky servo. Hisses like mad when cold. Stops if you rest your foot lightly on the brake pedal. Are there any seals that can be replaced or common failure areas on the servo that may cause this. MOT is not too far off and need to get it sorted along with the hole in the front cross member.

Originally it was a 1.6 petrol tipper.
