We were in Colorado Springs getting ready to head to Durango and the brakes on the V70T5 got VERY hard and idle was rough.
Popped the hood and found a double vacuum valve had come uncapped. I snapped the cap back on and it was OK.
But it popped off a few blocks later. Snapped it back on and it came off again.
We went to WalMart and got Loctite instant adhesive (like Krazy Glue - Loctite invented it) and duct tape.
I glued the cap back in and tore the tape into a narrow strip and sort of tied it together with that.
So far about 400 miles later it is still working OK. I'll probably get a new valve when I get home.
Any of you ever had that little valve blow open?
