Heater Valve Replacement

This is a common failure part, as well as not shutting off the heat mine was also leaking vacuum. It is a (relatively) cheap plastic part that gets hot as you can see by comparing the old with the new.

• Remove air filter housing and protect the MAF.
• Unbolt the coolant hose connection to the engine, undo the vacuum connection and then pull the assembly out from its hidden location.
• Remove hose clamps and remove from vehicle.
• I replaced the hose and clamps, both available from any auto parts store.

	Yellowed original valve and naff looking orange hose.
	New working valve in place with new hose and clamps.
	Here is a close up.

Enjoying the renewed action of my climate control system !!!
