Pulled a fault code with my VAG today...
 

I run the VAG 'complete scan' every month. For the first time, in over 2 years, it threw a fault code:

<b>17887- Brake boost Vacuum System: Mechanical Failure 35-10 - - - intermittent </b>

A Bentley search suggested:
- Perform a short trip in Engine Control Module (ECM) (basic setting; display group 8 with ignition on and selector lever in "P" or "N")
- Check hose setup to pump or from the pump to brake booster
- Perform output Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) in Engine Control Module (ECM) to check whether the vacuum pump runs or is activated

Has anyone else had any experince with this fault code?
