Which vacuum check valve!?
I've recently bought the car with the conversion and slowly working through the gremlins….the major one being trouble with brake pedal trouble, hence checking the vac side of things first before bleeding etc.
Appreciate any help and guidance.

Try it and see if the brake pedal is better.
I'm only guessing as my car is standard.

It appears to be the remnant of the Mk1 brake setup which the Mk4 engine doesn't need the vac takeoff. I've blocked these off and car idles at the correct speed again. Great!
Now need to replace the hose with correct vac hose as noticed the existing stuff ils getting compressed under the vac pressure….this could be attributing to the odd brake behaviour.
Let you know when it's sorted!
Cheers!
