Thread: D1 facelift, heater valve.

My 94 model has one (mine doesn't leak though nyah nyah)

AFAIK all the V8s had them. The RAVE CD just says that the V8s have them and the Tdis don't. No mention of specific years.

I shudder to think what a replacement would cost.

Atm, it has a nice dollop of HT grease over the gubbins.

Wishful thinking? Probably.

Does it leak regardless of whether it is on or off?

Perhaps turn your heater on slightly. Just enough to open the valve and see if releasing the pressure (creating flow) stems the leak.

Does it leak regardless of whether it is on or off?

Seems to. It hasn't been used for a week or more & it was weeping away.
It puddles on the engine block somewhere, so when I jacked the front up & put stands under, it ran down like I had a major leak. Right in my mush.

Part number: BTR4022

RAVE calls it a 'water valve'

I searched for it b4 I read your post.

Ex-USA A$44. + P&P. So not too bad really.

Your one is even better.

Yes, deleted from MA104739.

Scouse,

Do you know if it was just deleted or if there was something that replaced it?

I have wondered why they bothered using it at all if the Tdi has the same heater but no water valve.
This raises the question again if it was just deleted in the later V8s.

If it was just deleted then maybe 4bee should just remove it and join the heater pipes (or get the later ones). Also would need to plug the vacuum switch hose.
