I didn't even disconnect the brake lines. theres plenty of movement if you just up clip the pipes and only disconnect the vaccum line at the servo. :thumbs: | |

A lot of people say empty the servo tank with a syringe before moving it, can you get away with out having to do this? | |

this was the plate the servo bolts to, never been seal 100% from factory and the only way to remove it is a strip out. servo seal was ok. and as you say an easy fix. | |

quote: fuck, i did my girlfriends one as it had done the same and didnt have to do all that , i just took scuttle panel off, wiper motor then if you disconnect the brake pedal inside you can pull the servo out the way enough to re seal it , took me 1 hr 30 mins in total , then 30 mins to pull the carpet out been fine for the last 8 months | |

not to bad to remove seats and carpet. underlay is a pig if you don't want to cut it as its one piece that goes behind heater matrix assembly. I cut mine then tapped it up when refitted. left carpets out for a week to dry. fitted underlay from the corsa im breaking. its not to bad job just a bit fiddly. :thumbs: | |

I wouldnt rule out brake servi yet tho. Easy way to find out is lift the carpet behind the pedals and see if its wet up in behind the dash area. | |

As above did my gfs one it was the seal around the servo I just re sealed it with tiger seal and also pop one of the bungs out under the car to drain the water out | |

Oh and saturate your carpets with disinfectant before they dry out, it will help stop the mould and the stink. | |

Has it got a sunroof? if so blow some compressed air down the drain holes, failing that jab a length of old mains cable down there. | |
