Volvo: Vacuum leak, power brake booster, vacuum leak


Question
Ray, I hear what seems to be a vacuum leak when I back off the accelerator. In addition, when I have the air on in the car (heat and/or AC), the fan output decreases. This is a 94 940 turbo. Thanks

Answer
Jeff,
Well you will need to trace the vacuum leak to see where it is. Since the vent position is failing, then somewhere in that system is a posible leak. All you can do is listen for the leak and identify it so it can be repaired. I have seen the vacuum vent diaphragms for the floor vents and the recurc door cause the most problems. I have also seen the power brake booster leak.
