I'm looking for a used brake vacuum boost sensor, as mine has stopped functionning and sending a red warning on the dashboard, although vacuum is good.
I could get a new part from LTE, but it's way too expensive...

You sure you havent got a slight crack,break in pipe ? If not would have thought your best bet is ebay.

The pipe is new. I swapped with the brake boost sensor of my other cab, and the red light came off. I searched ebay, but no luck :?

That's the small device fixed on the lower part of the bonnet stay, and linked with a thin pipe to the brake vacuum pump. For the moment I just disconnect the wire to get the red light off, but since it's a warning device I'd prefer to have it work...
