How is that valve removed from under the cowling. My plan is to pull the gas tank for better access first; then replace the driver side heat/defrost valve. The re-install the control cables.
Any tips will be appreciated… ( see sample photo, not my car ) Attached image(s) |

This might help: Be very careful https://914electric.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/take-the-heat/ Thanks, that’s an excellent explanation of where each cable goes; I’m looking for tips on removing the driver side valve with the defroster nozzle attachedJim not really possible. At least Ive never been able to accomplish it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The valve protrudes down through the sheetmetal of the cowl so you have to seperate the valve from the vent by removing the spring clips x2. BE VERY CAREFUL, The bakealite /plastic is old & fragile & the .5 posts on either piece that those clip surround, aren't supported well & snap easily. The front one is fairly easy to do but the back one will test your mettle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
