VW Vacuum Pump - Pierburg 038145101B

Product Information

A vacuum pump is a component that generates the necessary vacuum pressure for various vehicle systems, such as the brake booster, turbocharger controls, and emissions equipment. It is especially important in modern engines, including turbocharged and diesel engines, where natural engine vacuum may be insufficient. A properly functioning vacuum pump ensures safe braking performance and reliable operation of vacuum-dependent systems.

• Hard or stiff brake pedal, due to insufficient vacuum supply to the brake booster.
• Poor engine performance, affecting systems like turbo or emissions controls.
• Oil leaks or unusual noises from the pump, indicating internal wear or damage.
