mini-z-awd Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 replace the brake booster seal you don`t want to put your life and others in danger by using something like plasti dip tp seal it and hope it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah just replace it dude, no point for what the part will cost and I am sure it will give you some valuable knowledge on taking the car apart to fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedods Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I wasnt gonna just use plasti to seal it, i was gonna reseal it then spray over the new seal with plastidip to prolong it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedods Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 ...you know the leaky booster is comon on corsas right? I dont mean its leaking brake fluid, i mean its letting rain water into the corsa, i should have been more clear lol..the booster is bolted to the firewall area and has a seal around it that perishes..people use tiger seal to fix it..sorry if i confused you into thinking i meant brake fluid lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philuk Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So what you are talking about is the brake servo to bulkhead seal, Just loosen the bolts from inside the car, so you can move it away from the bulkhead and sqeeze some mastick behind it and tighten the bolts back up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor 204 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 On the corsa c, there is a section of bulkhead on drivers side which is a bolt in pedal box assembly, held in with 13mm head size bolts and sealer, the sealer goes hard with age and cracks, which in turn allow rain water into the car, so the fix is once all stripped down to gain access, spend some time and dig out all old black sealer, make sure all bolts holding pedal box in are tight, then reseal like u would reseal a bath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governor 204 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Spose It wouldn't hurt! I've never done it myself tho! Think plastidip is meant for waterproofing elec components! If the leak is comming in from passenger side it will be comming in through the lid of the black box next to the battery! The body control module is inside so people refer to it as the bcm box! Just go down to ure local vauxhall parts department and get a new bcm box lid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedods Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 new box lid is the plan, after all this i got to get the water out the carpets and sound deadening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
