Description
As an EV, the Leaf cannot generate vacuum from an engine; it uses an Electric Brake Vacuum Pump to power the brake booster. A faulty vacuum pump or its manifold/hoses can lead to a hard brake pedal and severely reduced braking ability. This replacement unit ensures the brake booster receives the correct vacuum, restoring the light pedal feel and maximum stopping safety essential for Australian roads. This is a common part mistaken for an ‘intake manifold’ component.
