I was pulling out of Rite Aid today when my check engine light came on. Pulled into the self-serve car wash, during which time my girlfriend said that the inside of the car turned into a sauna (the heat was on full). Temperature gauge was fine, though I thought my exhaust smelled rich.
Went down the street to Advance. P0108, MAP sensor high circuit. Popped the hood, and the sensor seemed very loose. When I undid the clips, it came out in two pieces (see thumbnail). How odd. After pulling up Dan'* writeup on the code on my iPhone, I decided to replace it immediately instead of hitting a junkyard Monday.
Did it break because of age, or should I be worried about something?

I was hoping to find a thread discussing it since youtube and the service manual didn't provide any information.
Is it possible to repair / glue it back together?
I suppose you could try it, it would probably work . . . but this happens so seldom that it'* not worth fiddling with it. If you glue it back together and then some other part of it breaks and gets ingested, that'* a bad time . . . or if it is reading wrong it could cause bigger damage elsewhere, especially the catalytic converter.
