Hella 358400041 Vacuum Pump Braking System 8TM Series

The Hella 358400041 is an OE-quality vacuum pump designed to ensure consistent and reliable brake booster operation. Part of Hella's 8TM series brake system vacuum pump line, this unit maintains the pneumatic vacuum supply required by the brake booster to deliver safe, effective stopping power under all driving conditions.

Hella vacuum pumps operate on the rotary vane displacement principle: an eccentrically mounted rotor spins inside the pump chamber, and sliding vanes compress the enclosed volume as they rotate, drawing air out of the brake booster through the pneumatic line system. This design delivers steady, on-demand vacuum generation independent of engine intake manifold conditions.

Key Features:

• Engineered to OE specifications for direct-fit replacement
• Supports or independently generates vacuum for pneumatic brake booster systems
• Rotary vane compressor design for consistent vacuum output
• Compatible with modern engine technologies including downsized, hybrid, and alternative drive systems
• Activates on demand to supplement vacuum during cold starts, high-altitude driving, or heavy A/C load conditions
• Manufactured by Hella, a global market leader in electric vacuum pump development and production

The Hella 358400041 is a reliable direct replacement for braking system vacuum pumps on compatible Audi and Volkswagen applications from the 2005–2014 model years. Hella's extensive OEM supply experience ensures this pump meets or exceeds the original equipment performance standard.
