So I accidentally deleted the post that i meant to edit . If you could reach back about the brake issue i had about going down hill on neutral with the engine off. Is it normal to have stiff braking? Thanks again
I have not seen that post but YES coasting down a hill in neutral with engine OFF most definitely gets you bad braking.
While the engine is running the Brake Booster gets vacuum to boost the braking power.
In a Gasser this vacuum comes from the inlet manifold and on the CRD it comes from a seperate vacuum pump so no engine running...no vacuum.!
When being extremely low on fuel....running on fumes...I have coasted down hills with engine OFF to save fuel.
Brakes are terrible and let's not even mention the loss of Power Steering!
