Can't get either here in Ireland and need to fit the compressor this Sat, will a good brand of Super glue do. I think its only the air intake so its not under pressure or an I wrong?Dale
If you don't need it to stick quickly ie have time for it to set, use araldite or araldite rapide

I think it's the exhaust isn't it? So shouldn't see high pressure.2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate

You could always make a sleeve to insert between the two parts.
I'd probably look at doing that along with a bonding repair.
It'd give it extra strength .... something that was probably missing

If I was super-gluing it or other bonding methods, I would also put a few zip ties around it to be sure

I used Tiger Bond in the end, 24 hours later I tested the join and I could pick the compressor up by the fitting. I'm sure its going to do the job, time will tell as the compressor was fitted today.Dale
Loctite Black Tack....
This glue stays fund until you spray the hardener....then it sets
was used originally to fid large discrete compost to PCB's (printed Circuit Boards)....I have used this for all sorts or repairs.
The difference is it docent stick until you spray..you can position & hold in the exact place.
Massively strong & "proof"

I always trusted Araldite rapid & normal high strength...which is always in my car, office, homes....Black Tack has solved all sorts of adhesive tasks.BREXIT - done properly.
