Sounds like you need to take a inspection of the check valve. Then inspect
all vacume lines front to back.
Then consider it might be a bad vacume booster (Under the instrument
cluster).
I have a used booster for 25$ + freight.

Does anyone know if the Vanagon has a brake booster?  I have an '82 and
it became harder and harder to stop about 2 years ago.  Now I have to
push very hard to stop the van whereas before it was like I had power
brakes.  The brakes are working, however.  Any info would be
appreciated.






Thanks,


Aaron
