There is no “RENAULT” tool to check the braking as-
sistance circuit.
Use a vacuum pump, adapting the end pieces, part
number 7701349942 and 7700105874 with a pipe, part
number 8200027352 or 8200376245.
CHECK
I - PREPARATION OPERATION FOR CHECK
aPosition the vehicle on a two-post lift (see Vehicle:
Towing and lifting) (MR 411, 02A, Lifting equip-
ment).
aRemove:
-the front right-hand wheel (see 35A, Wheels and
tyres, Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) ,
-the front right-hand wheel arch liner (see Front
wheel arch liner: Removal - Refitting) (MR 412,
55A, Exterior protection).II - CHECKING THE SEALS
aWhen checking the brake servo seal, ensure that
there is a perfect seal between this and the master
cylinder at (A) .
If there is a leak in this area, replace the seal be-
tween the brake servo and the master cylinder (see
37A, Mechanical component controls, Master
cylinder: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-1) .
The brake servo seals must be checked when fitted
on the vehicle and when the braking circuit is opera-
tional.

III - CHECKING THE BRAKE SERVO
aRemove the non-return valve (6) from the brake ser-
vo (see 37A, Mechanical component controls,
Brake servo non-return valve: Removal - Refit-
ting, page 37A-11) .
aConnect a vacuum pump directly to the brake servo.
aActivate the vacuum pump to obtain a vacuum of
500 mbar.
aCheck that the vacuum does not fall by more than 33
mbar in 15 seconds.
If the vacuum falls by more than 33 mbar in 15 se-
conds, there is a leak which may be:-on the non-return valve seal; in this case replace
the seal (see 37A, Mechanical component con-
trols, Brake servo non-return valve: Removal -
Refitting, page 37A-11) ,
-on the pushrod diaphragm; in this case, replace the
brake servo (see 37A, Mechanical component
controls, Brake servo: Removal - Refitting,
page 37A-14) .
aRefit the non-return valve on the brake servo (see
37A, Mechanical component controls, Brake ser-
vo non-return valve: Removal - Refitting, page
37A-11) .
IV - CHECKING THE NON-RETURN VALVE
aDisconnect the non-return valve pipe on the intake
distributor.
aDisconnect the non-return valve pipe on the vacuum
pump.

aConnect a vacuum pump to the end of the non-re-
turn valve.
aActivate the vacuum pump to obtain a vacuum of
500 mbar.
aCheck that the vacuum pressure does not drop. If it
does, the non-return valve is pierced; replace the
valve (see 37A, Mechanical component controls,
Brake servo non-return valve: Removal - Refit-
ting, page 37A-11) .
aRefit the non-return valve pipe on the intake distribu-
tor.V - CHECKING THE VACUUM PUMP
aConnect the external vacuum pump to the engine
vacuum pump.
aStart the engine.
aCheck the following values:
-550 mbar in 5 seconds for an engine speed of 700
rpm,
-700 mbar in 3 seconds and 900 mbar in 5 sec-
onds for an engine speed of 4050 rpm.
aReplace the vacuum pump if the values are different
(see 37A, Mechanical component controls, Vacu-
um pump: Removal - Refitting, page 37A-25) .
aRefit the non-return valve pipe onto the vacuum
pump.
VI - FINAL OPERATION.
aRefit:
-the front right-hand wheel arch liner (see Front
wheel arch liner: Removal - Refitting) (MR 412,
55A, Exterior protection),
-the front right-hand wheel (see 35A, Wheels and
tyres, Wheel: Removal - Refitting, page 35A-1) .
