[urq] Bomb (hydraulic Pressure Regulator) Replacement

[SpotatAshleys]

I feel fairly certain it IS the bomb. Symptoms sound same as I had prior to
changing the bomb. Brake - no pedal - panic - press harder - head rushes
towards windshield. Oooo they worked after all... Not nice. I would change
it.

I don't even get one pump - bomb is hard when engine off.

I hope it is the bomb as I have the double Oh S#!+ problem - hard pedal when
panic
breaking followed by soft pedal and locked brakes a second later.  Very
Unnerving.

If it takes 40 pumps before the pedal goes hard, then the bomb is not the
problem!

When mine was dead enough for me to decide to replace it, I was down to 3 or
4 pumps.

And I just unscrewed the old one and screwed in the new BMW replacement.

Everything was hunky-dory after that.

Cheers,
Brady
