Hi,

I recently noticed that the black rubber hose that connects the maf sensor to the engine is cracked. So, I called a Lexus dealership who told me it would cost me $65 plus. So, I thought I’d just try gluing it. But something concerns me: Is the glue going to affect any of the engine sensors. I know that some of Permatex products are not safe for sensors, but how about glues? (e.g. super glue).

you are trying to seal a rubber product with a hard epoxy type material

it will initally bond but will seperate and crack off and probably be sucked in the engine

silicone would be better as it can flex as is ureathane but it depends on how big it is

Thank you skperformance.

Maybe I should try the salvage yard since repairing the hose is a bit risky.
