    IMG_3751.PNG IMG_3752.PNG So I'm trying to find a leak in my vacuum lines for my heat/air system. And I broke this part off of a diaphragm that goes underneath the blower motor. Two vacuum lines go to it, I think an orange and a white. I had the car running and no vacuuum is going to it. Is this something I can replace or should I try to crazy glue it back

    I think its a vac storage canister. It simply hold a vacuume to close the dampers once the cars shut off.

    Was that under the dash? It looks like the diaphragm that controls the air inlet behind the passenger kick panel

    It's the vacuum motor that controls the air door for outside air or re circulation. The one on my Estate Wagon started leaking internally. Hook the two hoses together and the system will work fine until you can replace it.
