Had the car into the garage today to fix the brake issue which turned out to be........ A burst solid brake pipe hidden up above the rear beam!!!!

So had that repaired, new fluid and bled and the brakes are working a treat now and while they were there they fitted the only remaining part of the vacuum system that hadn't been replaced - the vacuum pump.  Non boost issue still remains!! Ugh!

My Omega has not got a vacuum pump. It gets its vacuum from the inlet manifold, with  A reservoir or two..

Is it a diesel tho?

No. I did not not know diesel cars had vacuum pumps. Do all diesels have them? They must suck at some stage.

All diesels with no throttle butterfly (that's 99% of them up to a few years ago) do, no butterfly = no vacuum as the engine is always sucking against an open ended pipe.

Amazing. So what does the throttle pedal control?
