harry yarnell Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Was roaming around my favorite junkyard today and found a late '80s-early '90's Jaguar with Teves.However the pump, accumulator, and pressure switch were on the righthand side of the engine bay. One brake pipe went over to this huge kluge of a brake assy on the left (normal) side.The pump and accumulator looked like the Buick job, but the pressure switch was twice the size. Electrical connectors were different.I grabbed the accumulator... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I pick up a lot of pump/motor/pressure switches/accumulators when I find them in junk yards and most to the time the pumps and pressure switches are good but rarely do I get a good accumulator. i put them on my own car to test them and most of them come out as one or two pumps to red. I then throw them away.About 50% of the time if the accumulator has the white "made in Belgium" sticker on it, it means it is not an original but a later issue and it is 4 pumps or better.

padgett Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Around here the rejects would be in a box for the day when they can be rebuilt and a core is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry yarnell Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Yes, a test in a car is best. If no fluid (or a tiny amount) runs out as it's removed, then there's a good chance it'll be good. When the diaphram ruptures, they're full of fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
