Well pretty sure the servo is kaput but was just wondering on a couple details first .. firstly .. the pipe from the minifold to the servo .. should air only flow one way thru it ? as mines flowing from both .. also does anybody have a how to guide for removing a servo? (without having to drain my brake system) ?
its a 2005 206 1.4 triptronic
thanks alot for any help

When i replaced mine the brake fluid went everywhere, luckily it was in a scrapyard from one i was removing!! U will also need to remove the whole glove box to be able to get to the bolts that hold the servo in place!
ps what makes you say the servo is faulty??

you can't change the servo without draining the oil in the system,but to make the mess less,suck in all the oil in the bottle,and then take out the pipes that goes from the servo or master cylinder,to the ABS pump,this will be the less messy,BUT,you have to drain the 4 wheels from the air,before you drive the car anywhere.

I paid a guy to install the second hand part i got for £35 quid, couldn't be bothered with the hassle of messing it up, especially with it being with the breaks lol!
