Adam Brake Booster Pressure Sensor

I've got a 2013 Vauxhall Adam, gasoline engine, with a weird brake issue. Getting an error message in the speedometer, brake performance is poor, and the error memory says it's the brake booster pressure sensor. My mileage is at 185495 km. I think the system was bled incorrectly at some point. Anyone else seen this?

Whoa, sounds familiar! I drive an Adam too, and had almost the same problem. The error message was driving me nuts. Was like hitting a brick wall every time I braked. Did you check the ABS system?

Yeah, the ABS seems to be linked somehow. The error code specifically points to the brake booster pressure sensor. I'm wondering if it's just a faulty sensor or something more involved. When yours had this issue, was it the sensor itself or something else that needed fixing?

Yep, sounds like deja vu. Mine was definitely the pressure sensor causing all the mayhem. I tried a few things myself but ended up taking it to a workshop. They replaced the sensor, and everything went back to normal. Honestly, probably best to get it checked out professionally.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the advice. I had it checked out, and it was indeed the pressure sensor and related to the brake system being bled incorrectly in the past. New sensor installed and the brakes are working great again. Total cost was 90€.
