ZS ev vacuum pump uses....

[Deleted member 6309]

Interesting comment from a service desk "agent" that the vacuum system on an MG ZS EV "does more than just the brakes you know" ...

Like what? ??

I did not know there was a vacuum system.....
However, such systems used to work the heater controls, but now also maybe handbrake, automatic brakes when under ACC etc?

Brake servo is the only biggy I can think of...

Handbrake is electrically operated I believe?

I think you're right it only has one pipe that goes to the brake servo interestingly is it made in Mexico or China?

Made in Mexico, label stuck over saying made in China!
Will it last 7 years?
My Merc e320 cdi has a similar system, I believe because they couldn't find a way to get enough vacuum from the V6? These apparently fail after some 200,000 miles and are expensive to replace.

It's a diesel so doesn't create enough "suck" like a petrol, that's why it has a pump..
