Hey campers , I own an 89 T25 and the brake servo is leaking . a friend has given me a second hand one from a T4 but im not sure if its compatible . Is a second hand one hard to come or could a servo from a MK11 golf be used ? Please if anyone has any tips or advice they would be greatly appreciated .

Hi mate,
when you say 'leaking' what exactly do you mean? is your pedal 'hard' all the time?
Can the servo sustain vacuum and have you checked the one way valve?

Re: T25 Brake Servo
As above there are a few places it could leak from. I ended up replacing mine as it was definately leaking. Ended us checking all of the hoses etc etc.
I got mine from VW Heritage in their sale @ £180 instead of £300.
Its a royal pain the butt to replace, and while you are at it its worth replacing other parts and reconditioning the pedal assembly. I noticed my master cylinder was seeping so replaced that while I was there along with the clutch slave cylinder. Also replaced the shear bolts with S/S allen key bolts.
Good luck.
