VW Brake Booster Vacuum Hose - Genuine VW 7L6611931AJ

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 Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
