Vacuum Pump

Brake Vacuum Pumps for All Makes & Models

A-Z Motor Factors Halifax supplies high-quality brake vacuum pumps designed to provide the essential vacuum needed for safe and effective brake servo assistance. We stock both mechanical and electric brake vacuum pumps for all vehicle types, including diesel, petrol, hybrid and start/stop systems.

What Is a Brake Vacuum Pump?

A brake vacuum pump creates the vacuum needed by the brake booster (servo) to reduce pedal effort and improve braking force. Without a working vacuum pump, braking becomes harder, longer and potentially unsafe.

Brake vacuum pumps ensure:

• Increased brake assist

• Easier brake pedal operation

• Reduced stopping distance

• Stable braking under load

A failing pump can significantly compromise safety.

Types of Brake Vacuum Pumps We Supply ✔ Mechanical Brake Vacuum Pumps

Driven by the engine camshaft or timing system. Common on diesel engines.

✔ Electric Brake Vacuum Pumps

Used on modern vehicles where natural engine vacuum is insufficient, especially hybrids and stop/start systems.

✔ Servo-Specific Vacuum Pumps

Designed specifically to supply vacuum to brake boosters.

✔ Vacuum Pump Repair Kits & Seals

Fix oil leaks and restore proper vacuum output.

All pumps meet OE standards for reliability and correct vacuum performance.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Brake Vacuum Pump

You may need a replacement if you notice:

• Hard or stiff brake pedal

• Reduced braking assist

• Longer stopping distances

• Hissing or vacuum leakage

• Brake warning lights

• Engine stalling when braking (vacuum leak)

• Oil leaking around the pump

A bad brake vacuum pump is a safety-critical failure.

Why Brake Vacuum Pumps Fail

Common causes include:

• Internal wear

• Seal or gasket damage

• Oil contamination

• Mechanical failure of drive gears

• Overheating (electric pumps)

• Vacuum hose leaks

Replacing the pump restores full braking assist and improves vehicle safety.
