Unsure if y'all were aware but you can get a replacement for the Ranco and plastic valves here.

Leave one for me, I'm going out of town for two months next week!

Owned by Velma,

How did the replacement go for you? How well does it work?


Forgot wholly to mention the Wagonmeister Volvo 240 Heater Control Valve replacement, now sometime ago.



See here:

Search for other threads.

Wish I and folks would use the now well working brickboard.com search feature before asking. Yet the ongoing conversation keeps the beloved fix it yourself Volvo alive in many minds.

The Euro Parts House version, while a metal body:

Gets unfavorable reviews here.

I guess I have three to do preemptive-like. So, here we go.

Sorry to forget to mention.

Hope that helps.

I have a NIB unit for sale on TB. Let me know if interested. Email to xraybob240@comcast.net

Is there a link explaining/showing how to replace the heater valve?

I just received the new one from Eeuroparts.

Thanks ,

Kris

Get a Bentley Volvo 240 Service Manual. Haynes, Chilton, Clymer don't have the procedure.

OR a current Volvo Green Manual.

Else, try here:

Download the "Tp30282 2 Heater Unit" PDF.

Search the brickboard.com for improvements, suggestions, and caveats with this repair.

Also, iPd very kindly procides instruction for the valve they sell here:

The heater valves appear to be all metal, too!
