I'm having a very intense clapping sound in my VW T4 2,4 from 1994.
At first I replaced the vacuum pump which seemed to be the cause, however the clapping intensified , seems like im driving a tractor sometimes. When i pump\press the breaks the noise stops for a while...
Ive been reading that perhaps i have to change the vacuum pump rod, does anyone one know if that would be effective? Anyone has had this problem and can advise on how complicated/effective the operation is?
