Brake booster for 1989 st162 celica.

Hey, just wondering if anyone has a brake booster for a st162 celica 89' mine is really worn and has created a air leak as well as a headache for me. Think the p/steer hoses has maybe warn through or something not quite sure.. Will post up photos of it later.. Thanks..

 

Yer thats the one, it a black cylinder thing. I'll take some photos in a sec...

 

Here's the pic



I tried to seal it up while I look for a brake booster hahaha.. Im not an expert or anything, but Im pretty sure that could explain why the car doesn't really idle or accelerate correctly.. Maybe not sure exactly how they work..

 

hey? what you mean.. the hose that goes in the bottom there.. doesn't it run off the engine vac?

 

ok, mines basically the opposite. When I try to take off, the car sorta struggles for about a second and than takes off with all its power. Also there's a rattle noise while this happens and through gear changes just as your about to take your foot of the accelerator or while your going up a slight or steep incline.. Another problem for another day but.. bit off topic.. haha but yer strange..

 

I just looked it up in Chiltons, basically they just call it a hose.. hahah and Haynes calls it the hose leading from the engine to the brake booster.. Really strange what REV_HEAD was having though. Might be able to work it out from the hose diagram in the back?..

 

I know hey, im thinking maybe the P/steer hose might have rub against it or something? Sorta hard to work out because there basically no moving parts right there.. so yer WTF... haha

 

Yer so basically everything that you said is completely correct. I actually cut out a top cap of a paint lid, and used the steel putty, however you can hear a hiss from the booster still, but I think the only way that I can get it to stop the air leak is to replace it with a working one with no holes..

 

Yer the hole is pretty big, more shaped in a largish crack.. 20-25mm in width and about 100mm long? I put the cap on to hopefully give that to rub on but yer that sorta came off straight away and yer basically its blown or sucked air to break the putty.. :/ I dont mind replacing the booster, the car is pretty much 22 years old, so it probably wont hurt... It's more of a temporary fix rather than a permanent one.. Sadly its my daily car as well which means it gets a lot of use backwards and forwards from work..

 

Thanks... hahaha Thanks for all your suggestions..
