cyarmak Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 So, im changing my air filter and when i take off the cover and pull it back i hear a snap, and look to see this thing broken. The hose comes from the air intake and through this thing and back to the engine. Can any one tell me what it is, and what is does?? I think a little glue will fix it... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=10112&cat=500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea#3 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Assuming this is a pre 95 Impreza with a/c 1.8l , the valve is for the idle up when the a/c is turned on . The knob on the top is adjustable As far as gluing it give it a try but there is a lot of heat and vibration and it bound to break again Hope that helps SEA#3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAWalker Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Assuming that you broke one of the nipples that the vacuum lines hook to. I find that if you take the straw off a can of WD40, brake clean ect. and cut a sort peice to fit inside the nipple with enough sticking out to go into the solenoid you can super glue the nipple back on and the straw keeps the glue from pluging the hole and provides more support so it doesn't snap off as easy agin.

cyarmak Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 Thanks all for the help, i ended up using super glue and then some Epoxy on the outside of it to give it some strength. Seemed to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
