sarookha Posted Wednesday at 12:05 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:05 AM As I was tracking down a vacuum leak under the hood, I managed to snap one of the vacuum line nipples off of the cruise control servo. What is the servo body made of? ABS? PVC? Obviously, the real question is what glue will stick to it well enough to hold the nipple in place with a heavy vacuum hose attached, under real driving conditions.

I've got a parts car, I just hate to waste even spare parts if I can avoid it! may still try a hefty dose of JB weld around the base of the nipple, but depending on the material, it doesn't always form a good band with plastics.

Well, if you want to save it, you might try cutting the nipple off flush and tap the housing for a small hose nipple, but I have no idea if the housing is thick enough. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you wanting to save spare parts when you can but the cruise servo may be the most plentiful part you can get for a Reatta. Your time would be better spent picking up a few spares at a junk yard and testing them on the car before storing them so you know you have good ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVES89 Posted Thursday at 01:45 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:45 AM I have 4 servos in my parts bin and never replaced a one. Use the one off your parts car. Next week I will turn 331,000 miles on the Red of which 220,000 were put on by me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
