i have been reading up on brakes today and came to a realization that there is a technique to maintain your brake booster pressure while coasting, engine off.

My tdi uses a mechanical vacuum pump that runs off the camshaft, when in neutral with the engine off, the camshaft is not turning, put it in gear and cam turns the vacuum pump, keeping the brake booster loaded.
My theory is that coasting with the key in off ACC on position can provide a unlimited amount of brake use.

In short by putting it in gear before braking i will maintain my brake boosters vacuum without starting the motor.

I am going to the lake later, a 20 mile country highway with lots of hills for me to try this ignition off brake in gear theory of mine.
