Stiff brake pedal feel when starting car

jafische · Apr 2, 2015

Does anyone know the part number for the brake booster vacuum line and check valve? Or where to find a parts diagram for the vehicle.

My dealer asked me to bring it in next week to check it out and will ask VW for assistance to fix the stiff brake pedal. I think I will let him point it out to me and assuming they would want to charge me for the repair (as I am at 43k mi), I will buy/install the parts myself.

2013 Passat TDI SELp

Thanks !

My Touareg does the same thing with the stiff brake pedal. The Passat does, too, but it's no big deal since it isn't KESSY.

Still looking for these parts. Are they VW only?
Someone suggested using a ACDelco 90304535 GM Original Equipment Power Brake Booster Vacuum Check Valve as it is only 13$.

I just started today as Parts Manager at Findlay North Volkswagen in Las Vegas.

When I get into work tomorrow, I will look up the part number and retail price for you.

I took it to Pete Moore VW in Pensacola. The service guys said "Recommend Vacuum Supply Line". no part number and $111 for parts and labor. I figured it would be easy to find and easy to replace so I asked them not to do it.
Thanks for your help !

Where can you find Parts Diagrams or Microfiche ? I used to be able to find these things in minutes, am I getting old?

561612041C does not seem to fit a 2015 with the MT. I've searched around and cannot find a vacuum tube with check-valve for this model.

Any expert advice?
