I noticed a vacuum hose (3.5 mm OD) got disconnected from a 3-way rubber split on my 944 (1983). This happened after I had noticed the brake booster giving not enough assistance... I put the hose back in, but would like to make sure it doesn't happen again. What adhesive should I use? I thought contact cement, but it might not be good for the sensors, etc., a sensor-safe non-hardening gasket maker? These hoses are made of plastic-looking stuff.
Thanks, Stan

It's on of the rare cases when super glue will probably give as good a result as anything. Be sure to clean the plastic nipple as well as possible first.

If its one of the rubber threeways and the small hard plastic line then I use a small black tywrap or two. It works on the turbo. When the three ways get old they get loose and hard and the tywrap will tighten them back up while allowing later disassembly.
