Hi Guys and Gals,
I have a 1999 W163 Mercedes ML320 lpg converted. It is my baby but now is starting to cost me serious money! Having had 4 steering racks fitted in past few months (3 reconditioned racks were faulty after a few weeks, which was great if I only wanted to turn right!) I then discovered that the sills were rotten and purchased new one ready to be done and then I got the dreaded hissing from the brake pedal. True to form I googled and researched it and managed to get a new seal kit from America. Managed to remove the brake booster with no real issues, removed and replaced the seal which looked good when done. Put everything back together and now the vehicle starts and runs very lumpy like a bag of spanners! I am sure I put everything back as it was. No hissing anymore but on testing the booster the brake pedal does not go down slightly when pressed and ignition switched on. Does this mean that the booster is cattled or is some kind person going to point out that I have watched Ed China too much and forgotten something? I know that the vacuum can affect the running of the engine but after 6 hrs at it now thought I'd better ask for help!
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers
John
