Coupé brakes vacuum pump: is it indispensable?
Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2026 5:26 pm
Hi all,
I'm finding fantastic amounts of info in this forum on our Dinos.
I'm starting to go for some more serious restaurations on my 2.4 coupé.
I realize that my brake vacuum pump doesn't work any more, probably since a long time. I'm checking all the parts, electrical and mechanical.
But the question is: does this pump is really that necessary? My circuit shows good vacuum and the car brakes satisfactorily.
Does anyone is driving without the pump working?
Cheers
Massimo
