Heater valve
 
Hi again, My heater blows hot all the time even when turned off ( that's the heat control wheel, not blower) Would that be the valve in the engine bay and if so is it adjustable? Need the cool air here. Any way I can shut of the water to the matrix?

Hi Arcturus

It's funny cos I have all the same questions as you, and this is one of them!!!

You are one step ahead though......so yeah, same 'problem' same question

Though right now it's snowing

I do find it's not AS warm with the wheels off - but not cold by any means

It might be worth you checking that the cable is closing the valve properly. Easy enough to reach up through the glovebox to see if the valve is closed all thw way with your hand.

On mine the wire had come loose on the back off the dashboard so wasn't moving the valve all the way.
