Re: Heater Temp Control 200 82

Quite common symptom, very common failure.

In '90 or '91, Volvo switched to a newer style valve (a gate valve) for the 240, whereas the original is a thermostatic valve. They sell a kit to retrofit the new valve into an older car.

I've installed a retrofit kit into an '89—it works well, but the instalation is a tedious three hours, sore knees, and skinned knuckles.

Somewhere I have the Volvo number for the kit if you want it.

Frankly, I think I'd find someone who has an exact replacement heater valve.
