No power and hard brake pedal!
Hi all, I've recently replaced the injector wiring harness and since having the car back it's got no power as if the turbo isn't boosting and the brake pedal goes hard! Is it a case of a vacuum hose hasn't been re-connected properly or a split in a vacuum pipe?
Re: No power and hard brake pedal!
It does sound like a vac line issue for sure - did a garage do the work? Maybe they've knocked a vac line near the vacuum/tandem pump as the injector harness is in that area. The vac system from that pump also provides the vacuum to the brake booster/servo so no vacuum = no assisted braking effort = hard brake pedal. Have a look around the back of the engine on the drivers side of the engine bay and you'll see a vac line coming from the tandem pump on the rear of the engine that splits and goes to the vac system and the brake servo. Give it a check and see if anything has popped off or been snapped.

Thanks all sorted now. You were correct a vacuum pipe had been knocked of/not put back on
