72 164E heater valve 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Jesse on  Fri Jan 31 20:41 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have recently been rebuilding my 72 164E and have come across a few problems.
When taking out the engine i managed to break the heater controll valve and no one seems to have a replacement for it. Can it be swaped with one from another model? also can a newer set of injectors be fitted instead of the d-jetronic? oh and ive also read somewhere about a turbo kit for the 164 is it available, how hard is it to fit and how much does it cost?.
Thanks
Jesse

    I wouldn't replace it. I got my replacement from IPD a couple
    years ago; it is a part for any 140 years 1966->72 but I think
    a later part can be made to work.

    But, as I said, I wouldn't replace it. I would instead use an
    inline valve from a water-cooled VW (rabbit/golf/etc). These
    parts are small, have a place for mounting a cable, and can
    likely be put entirely in the engine compartment just by tapping
    into the heater hose.

    The stock unit is silly -- there is no reason for the automatic
    opening and closing feature and it often winds up failing in
    either full blast mode or "even when it's off it's on a little"
    mode. Mine, only 2 years old, at part heat settings, makes an
    annoying buzzing noise so I either have it all off or all on.
