Have had a few problems with the brakes / servo on my 51 plate passat TDI (100BHP) over the last week.

Should there be a jubillee clip or other similar on the main vac hose where it joins onto the vac pump when the car is new. I had a new vac pump and vac hose fitted by a garage last week, after the job was done I took it back as I felt the brakes / servo where not very consistent and I suspected a leak on the vacuum system also a nasty rattle from some where. They said they had performed a full check and found nothing.

This morning travelling to work almost complete brake failure, head in hands call the AA to get towed back to garage. Very helpfull AA man finds the Vac pipe adrift from the Vac Pump with no jubilee clip on it.

Obviously I am going back to the Garage to complain that after paying them £400 such a stupid simple mistake nearly cost me the front end of my car and the back end of what ever was infront.

Cheers Ben.
