I am having trouble with the mastervac which is a pump that assist breaking in my Peugeot 206. When the pump does not function correctly, it takes more force to break. The problem is easily detected – you can hear a hissing sound coming from the general direction of the break pedal – it’s the air escaping when it shouldn’t.

So I took an appointment with local Peugeot service which was supposed to take place today early in the morning at 8:15. They did not have the part in stock when I called last week but they ordered it immediately. However it’s a holiday season now and everything takes a lot longer than usual…

The cool thing is that around 7:30 (?!?) this morning, I got an SMS from Peugeot service notifying me that the part is not available yet and that they’ll let me know as soon as they have it.

This is one of the few rare cases when I did not mind getting unsolicited SMS from someone
