Subject:Re: 90 v'gon GL. only hot air from dash vents

My valve works OK, but I've bent two of the control wires, so the valve is
now stuck in the on position.  If the slider doesn't feel right, it may be
the control wire that is the problem.  Kind of a PITA to replace, too.

archives I know that there is a valve in the hose that is controlled by the
temp slider on the dash that can go bad. Is there anything else that can
cause this, or should I just go get a replacement valve? If it helps any, I
got the heads replaced about 4k miles ago
