    FEBI Brake bomb

    Ok so my brake bomb finally gave up. I noticed last year that it takes only 5-6 pumps before pedal gets hard but now its even worse. I looked up some after market brake bombs but only thing I am finding is one form FEBI. Has anyone have installed one of these? Are they any good?

    Any input will be appreciated:

    Febi is one of those who sometimes packs other manufacturer parts in their boxes so you actually never know what you'll get. Can be something good, can be something average.

      Time ago I had seen a link somewhere on the Net, where a boy "re-charge" the bombs. Don't know if it worths, neither if it a safe or reliable job.

        There is someone in the USA who recharges the brake pressure accumulators that we sometimes call "Bombs" (they are not bombs but pressure vessels).

        Therefore I would guess that somebody in Europe must be able to do this. The pressurization uses nitrogen gas, i.e. the main component of the air we breathe every second.

        Okay, every fourth second.

            Speak to a Citroen suspension specialist, they should be able to do it for you. They drill into the bomb and use some kind of fitting to recharge the gas
            I did find someone who could do it but this was years ago and I've totally forgotten who it was

              these guys from memory...I think someone even reached out to them a long time back but no idea if they ever got theirs done by them or not. May be worth a call.

                Thanks for the input and links.

                I will check these part numbers because by RS2 there was different part number after certain VIN.
