VW Brake Booster Vacuum Hose - VNE 1J0612041FL

Product Information

A brake vacuum hose is a reinforced rubber or plastic hose that connects the engine intake manifold (or a vacuum pump in some vehicles) to the brake booster. It supplies vacuum pressure that amplifies the driver’s braking force, allowing for easier and safer braking with less pedal effort.

• Hard brake pedal – little to no power assist, requiring extra force to stop.
• Hissing noise – air leak sound near the hose or brake booster.
• Increased stopping distance – reduced braking efficiency due to loss of vacuum assist.

About VNE

VNE GmbH was founded in 2001 by Volker Natorp in Hamburg, Germany. Volker has a long, storied history in the automotive field. He began his career in the 1970s working for Wulf Gaertner and in the 1990s eventually branched out on his own to start his own sales repping agency. During that time, he represented TMD Friction (Pagid/Textar) and managed all of the North American sales for them and eventually added Schaeffler Automotive to his roster.

In 2007, VNE GmbH relocated to Ganderkesee, Germany and was renamed VNE Automotive GmbH & Co. With continuous growth, the decision was made to solely focus on developing VNE Automotive and, in 2014, the focus became reality with the commissioning of a new warehouse and office space. Today, VNE Automotive prides itself on never having followed the aftermarket trend. VNE Automotive operates in a highly specialized, niche product sector, by only offering OEM automotive spare parts to more than 50 countries worldwide. This is evident from the unique, and sometimes hard to find, product groups spanning engine management, body electrical, and brake systems.
