What is the Vacuum Pump all about?

While all gasoline engines create vacuums during operation, sometimes the amount created isn’t enough to power the accessory systems in the car. Diesel engines do not create vacuums at all during operation. In both of these instances, a vacuum pump is used to either augment or provide the vacuum power necessary to operate the various other systems on the car, including the brakes, some HVAC functions and more. The vacuum pump is usually located behind the engine, mounted near the firewall and close to the master cylinder and brake booster. It’s easily recognizable for its two nozzles on top, as well as the design of the canister. It is an electric air pump that maintains a constant amount of vacuum in the vacuum reservoir behind the front bumper. If the vacuum pump stops working or develops a leak, the engine compartment may release a hissing sound, the heater controls may not switch when operated, or the brake pedal may be hard to depress.

Keep in mind:

  • The vacuum pump is an electronic component that can experience both electrical and mechanical problems.
  • The vacuum pump is not designed to be serviced, so it will not be inspected during routine maintenance aside from a vacuum line inspection.
  • Leaks in vacuum lines can mimic symptoms of vacuum pump failure.

How it's done:

  • The faulty vacuum pump is located and identified
  • The valve vacuum pump is then removed
  • The new vacuum pump is then installed
  • The brakes are tested for proper vacuum pump operation
  • The vehicle is road tested and checked for proper vacuum pump and brakes operation

Our recommendation:

The vacuum pump, which is expected to last the life of your vehicle, does not receive any maintenance and is only serviced when it fails. If you are experiencing symptoms related to the vacuum system, have your vehicle diagnosed by one of our expert mechanics.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Vacuum Pump?

  • Heater controls don’t operate properly
  • A hissing air sound is present
  • Brake pedal is very hard to press

How important is this service?

If the vacuum pump fails, your brakes may not operate properly and vehicle operation becomes unsafe. Have your vacuum pump replaced immediately if it is diagnosed as faulty.

Audi A4 L4-2.0L Turbo - Vacuum Pump - Las Vegas, Nevada
My fuel pump, fuel filter, and spark plugs were changed out. He let me know I bought the wrong vacuum pump, probably only bc it was a different figment than the correct one. 1 day after the Mx, my engine started shaking and the car felt like it was being driven over lumps of coal with the emergency brake applied. When I called YM to talk to them about it, I was informed that I would have to pay for another inspection since I provided my own parts. Nevermind the fact that it may have had nothing to do with the parts, but possibly just with the maintenance itself. I took my car to Midas and was informed by that I had had the wrong spark plugs put in, and that caused a crack in 3 out of 4 of my ignition coils-a problem that did not exist prior to the maintenance done by Luis. That was my fault for buying my own parts (which saved me a $75% markup from YM’s parts) although most websites said that those plugs fit my car. If that was the case, though, a 13 year mechanic should have been able to let me know that that was the wrong part just like he did with the vacuum pump instead of placing them in my car. So I’m shelling out another $300 to have yet another set of spark plugs and ignition coils replaced. Thanks YM. I’m not as upset at Luis as I am YM, bc I feel if I could have talked to Luis about this instead of being stonewalled by the company, I would have had a better outcome and a better understanding of what went wrong.
