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.

Porsche 911 H6-3.6L - Door Latch Cable - Houston, Texas
Ben saves this company. The company infrastructure and support from scheduling, accuracy, follow up, and customer service was terrible. My first appointment had a location change. The time was set for 11:00 on a Saturday. I drove a half hour to get to my car, When I get there, No mechanic. When I texted the mechanic he tells me that they called him on Thursday to tell him the part wouldn’t be in. Not only did they send me a reminder email on that Thursday to show up on Saturday but I called Friday to change the location.. So between me calling in, them sending me an email, and the mechanic being notified that the part was not in yet, which also means they waited til the last minute to order the part, because my appointment was 2 weeks out, makes 3 opportunities to notify me so that I didn’t have to clear a whole Saturday morning appointment time for an appointment that would never happen. So they reschedule the appointment and only because I was super persistent did they schedule me with Ben for the following Friday on 10-2-20. Ben actually called me before the appointment to let know he could come early. I’m thinking great they are on it. NOPE, they changed the address on the reschedule back to my home address and Ben went to the wrong location. I was irritated, but Ben was nice enough to drive another half hour to come and repair my car and did it with a kind and professional attitude, not to mention, if I had taken my car to the Porsche dealership they would have racked up at least 3 hours, Ben was done in 1. I appreciate him for his work ethic and his professionalism. Ben- A++ Company F-
