    Vacuum Sensor

    One of the stubs on my vacuum sensor broke off and although I have super glued it back on, wonder how long it will last before the engine vibration makes it fall off again.

    That's not the vacuum sensor, it's a VSV (Vacuum Switching Valve) If that's the one that sits on the side of the intake pipe (1b) then it's your Idle Up VSV. If it's the one under the intake plenum then it's your T-VIS VSV, as far as I know they are different.
    The Vacuum (MAP) sensor is the rectangular sensor on the rear bulkhead, just above the coolant bottle in this picture

    Thanks Jimi, I didn't exactly know what it was referred to, which is why I included the photograph. According to the BGB and your post I now know it's the VSV (idle-up).

    Stu, I am unable to read your latest PM as there appears to be a database error (just in case you are wondering why).
