Brake Pedal
Are your Vw Brake Boosters Doing Their Job?
The VW part that actually amplifies your foot pedal pressure is the VW brake boosters. As you step on the pedal, the brake booster optimizes the performance of built-in assist, which effectively multiplies the applied force to operate a vacuum through the rubber hose, which runs from the intake manifold. The brake booster increases the compression in the master cylinder to drive other brake system components to come in contact with the brake discs and ensure stoppage. Backed by German precision engineering, brake boosters require built-in assist which you cannot find in drum brake vehicles.
There are cases when you have installed all brand new pistons, seals, hoses and pads in all wheels and also the hand brake. Then, after flushing the system and putting in the recommended fluid and bleeding properly, you still get a very hard pedal and very poor braking. You might suspect that the VW brake booster is not doing its job. Although when you pump the pedal a couple of times to expel the vacuum then put light pressure on the brake pedal with your foot and start the engine, you can feel the pedal get not greatly pulled down.
The thing to do is to have full engine vacuum at the booster, about 18" of vacuum. Any less then that you have in a vacuum can give a problem. Do some tests and inspections.
First in the testing process is to raise and support the front of the vehicle. Be sure one wheel will rotate freely. Start the car engine and allow vacuum to accumulate. Then, apply brake pedal several times. Be sure wheel is free to rotate immediately after pedal is released. If brakes bind, it means the booster is faulty.
With the car engine is running, apply brake pedal several times and check operation of pedal. If response is sluggish, then check the condition of vacuum hoses and booster unit air filter. Allow vacuum to build up, then switch off engine and operate brake pedal.
Pedal should be vacuum assisted for approximately three applications. Any less in applications will imply a leaking vacuum system or an inoperative check valve.
Operate brake pedal several times to evacuate any vacuum left in system with engine switched off. While maintaining light pressure on brake pedal, start the car engine. If booster unit is operating correctly, pedal will fall under existing pressure. However, if pedal remains stationary, it means there is a leak in the vacuum system.
With engine running, apply and hold brake pedal. Then, switch engine off. If pedal rises against foot pressure, it means the booster is faulty.
Those mentioned tests on the vacuum system, however, should only be performed if the hydraulic system is in satisfactory condition.

I need to press the brake pedal really down to get enough stopping power?
My parents have a 2001 Toyota Corolla. The brakes on their car might have some kind of problem. When I want to stop the car, I have to press the brake pedal quite down in order to get enough power to stop the car. I thought it might be out of brake fluid, but I checked and the brake fluid reservoir was still quite full (when I looked inside the reservoir, it was full). So what could be the problem?
sounds like a brake booster issue to me. with the key off pump the brakes about 10 times, until it gets really hard to push. now with your foot firmly on that pedal, start the engine. if that pedal drops the booster should be ok. if it does not drop, then your issue is right there at the booster.
