940 heater valve. Replace or repair?
The heater valve on my 940 is leaking. Before I go and order a new one is it possible to repair it? Is it just o rings on the spindle that become worn with age? Does anyone know the external diameter of the pipes on the heater valve so Ican replace with lengths of aluminium or copper pipe whilst the valve is off? Any info appreciated, Ste

Hi,
As my heater valve was a result or aged bakolite I would say replace it. Depends on whether you have your heater valve inside the car or outside in the engine compartment. Is your AirCon or not? Bottom line, £15 odd, I would replace it. Have a word with Rufe on here for a price. Des. . .

Hi,
Rufe is Rufe.. Do a search for him (advanced search)... Age immaterial but the heater valve I pulled from my 940 was, in part, Bakelite!!! (Bakelite and not bakolite as previously spelt!) Des. . .
