My '86 5ktq parts car has just one pump pressurizing the hydraulic brake
booster and the steering rack, just like my '87 5ktq driver and my "new"
'91 200tq20v.  The latter shows no brake warning sign in the instrument
panel square where my '87 showed the red triangle when that car's "bomb"
was bad, but the '91 "fails" the 30-pumps-to-hard-pedal test after engine
shut-off.  Is there a different "bad bomb" dashboard warning on the '91?
