Do you have some engine trouble codes indicating a vacuum leak. If you don't have any trouble codes I don't understand why they are suggesting the hose be replaced. I would ask then to show me the hose and why it needs replacing.

he just said that your brake booster pipe needs to be replaced,
engine or dashboard doesn't give any kind of error and i don't have problem with brakes, they just work fine
and i also asked him but i have to deal with advisor and advisor deals with technician and i asked him and he didn't know where it was, end of the story that's why i am never going back to jaguar dealership again
so u know where that pipe is?

the pipe goes between the brake booster and the intake manifold. the black and grey check valve in the middle deteriorates being above the rear cats heat. it will eventually be a vacuum leak. to remove press in the black ring around the base then withdraw the tube from the intake. the booster side just pulls out, but grab close so you dont snap the plastic line. Now get some heat shring the same size as that check valve(1" approx) and heat shrink it over that and the line to seal. This how I normally repair. Or buy a new booster pipe theyre about $100+ take your pic couple dollars or a hundred

Brake boost pipe circled in attached pic. I replaced mine and found the O-ring in the intake was rock hard and had to be replaced. Had a really hard time getting it out of the intake because of how hard the O-ring was. I hadn't heard of the heat shrink fix I might have tried that method if I had thought of it.

HELLO!!! Do you ever do preventative maintenance? Or do you wait till hoses burst, check engine lights come on, tires blow out? I meen really, they let him know it should be replaced and I would too if I saw it. How many people really like to wait till something fails and costs you more money, and untimely breakdown...Tow bills, sitting on the road, and if that pipe breaks, or becomes a big vacuum leak, you loose power brakes and end up with a very hard pedal....Thats just not good advise to let it go because he's not having a problem right now or check engine light...sorry its a cheap fix

Hi all;
Newbie on Jag forums, so let me know if this is the wrong spot to "add-on" to a booster thread. Would hate to start another thread when this might be related.
Ok here it goes....
Had a Rotors and Pads job on all 4's back in June this year. Car ran/stopped fine up until late.
1.) Had coolant refill hose leak that "ate" by brake fluid reservoir cap and contaminated the lines as it was hard to stop. Hard Brake Petal.
2.) Have associated?? Check Engine light and my famous and lovely CRUISE NOT AVAILABLE light. Gotta love that limp mode, especially on the highway.![Icon Doh](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_doh.gif)
3.) Had lines bled by very reliable Jag mechanic. Same issues still persist with hard petal and check engine lights.
Mechanic says fault codes point to booster (which is what we thought).
Couple of questions:
-Is is this in fact the booster gone bad or just the brake booster pipe.
-Are these faults (check engine light and Cruise Not Available) normal for a booster issue?
Sorry if this went on a bit, or posted in a incorrect spot. I have an Alfa Romeo that I work on and post to their BB and try to keep "like" threads together.
Thanks in advance and for the patience.
