Just tried ordering a heater control valve from Porscheshop here in the UK, and they told me it's no longer listed. Tried Berlyn and a few main dealers here in the UK who all say the same. Anyone any idea where I might be able to get one from? I don't mind importing from the US.

That's crazy, it's a VW part. There has to be someone in GB who can help.

Hi Juno,

On first inspection, it looks a little tight back there and not straightforward to change.

If you get any top tips on how best to fit the new one, please can you post them in the How-To section.

Or alternatively, as you'll be the local expert you can come over to Macclesfield and change mine !!
