Heater control valve work in progress

P.S, I inserted the copper pipe the full depth of the hose tube. Last edited by 827Roverman; Mar 20th, 2020 at 12:05. Reason: more info |

Sounds like a good fix David - maybe a heat gun would be more controllable than the gas stove though?

Thanks to all earlier contributors, in this case especially Bob12, for sharing the detail that (I think LPTJoe) went to to install the VW valve. Anyway, as my trusted mechanic was doing some other work for me he also put in the VW valve. It is installed in a bit of a different way to the earlier photos so I attach some here also. TBH, I am not sure how he attached to engine side, but it looks as it should. It worked perfect and I drove it around, used the heater controls without a problem until today, day 7. On inspection, I noticed a tiny leak coming from around the nut where the cable wire is attached. Stopped the leak by tightening the nut (did not seem to need it) and also pushed the cable arm away from the valve body. I hate tiny leaks. they usually go only one way. Perhaps it is a faulty valve?? I wonder did LPTJoe’s kept working? Anyway, just more information. I will keep you posted on my side. Stay Safe, Mike |

Valve
Just read the above post and I've bought the same valve so I'm happy to see that it fits and works!

Glad to see that it worked and possibly without the extra pipework. Bob

Unfortunately, there is still a small drip there. Slight, hard to see exactly where it is coming from, but enough to bother me.
I will have to look at this again when this 'thing' is over. Before we go at it again, I would like another valve on he side in case I need it. I will certainly be revisiting above, any other ideas or experiences would be welcome. Take Care, Mike |
