Is your diesel suffering from hard brakes, poor or no engine shut off, climate control problems, or even funky transmission shifting?? Since the components that control these functions on most models are controlled by vacuum, you have to start troubleshooting these problems at the source - which is at the vacuum pump. If your engine is not putting out the right amount of vacuum or there are leaks in the system - all of the above symptoms could drive you crazy.
