  1. What Are The Signs Of A Bad Brake Booster In Your Volvo XC40?

  2. Brake booster is a device used to amplify the force applied on the brake pedal in Volvo.

  3. Moreover, the booster is found in almost all models of Volvo with hydraulic brakes.

  4. Each brake booster is typically mounted on the firewall in the engine compartment. 

  5. Due to a bad brake booster, you have to press harder to the brake pedal to engage the brakes.

  6. The following signs help you to determine the bad brake booster in your Volvo XC40. Stiff brake pedal Hissing noise A warning light comes on Failing power steering Fluid leakage 1 2 3 4 5

  7. Stiff Brake Pedal

  8. A hard brake pedal is often a strong indicator of the brake booster failure.

  9. A failing brake booster loses the ability to amplify the force from your foot and needs more effort to press the brake pedal.

  10. Hissing Noise

  11. If you hear a hissing noise while applying the brakes, then it could be a leaking vacuum booster.

  12. On the other hand, the leaks in the vacuum hose or housing also produce hissing noise.

  13. A Warning Light Comes On

  14. If your car has an electronic brake booster, the assembly's failure can affect the anti-lock braking system.

  15. As a result, several brake-related warning lights are illuminated on the dashboard such as: • ABS light • Traction control light

  16. Failing Power Steering

  17. In general, the hydraulic boosters are powered by the power steering pump in Volvo. 

  18. If the power steering fails, the brake booster will typically fail at the same time.

  19. Fluid Leakage

  20. Thus, the fluid leaks in the car indicate a whole bunch of different problems in your car. 

  21. If the hydraulic booster is losing brake fluid, then the hydro-boost assembly will fail soon.

  22. Conclusion

  23. Brake booster is one of the most integral components of your car’s braking system.

  24. When it fails in your Volvo XC40, consult a mechanic to diagnose and fix it efficiently.
