Coolant valve stuck
Discussion
Help please Guys.
Just had the M400 in to the local Air con chappies 'cos it stopped working. They have checked it out and everything appears fine except that the coolant valve (can't remember exactly what they called it?)is stuck open, therefore apparently not shutting off the heater supply?
The air con pipes are all ice cold and the pressures, etc, suggest that this is okay...
Does this make sense to anyone and where is the offending item located on the car?
They said that they have seen this problem before esp. on Fords
mmm - sounds familiar!!

for more details on the bypass valve.
It is quite common for this valve to malfunction so that the flow of hot engine coolant cannot be turned off completely, which makes if very difficult to get any benefit from the A/C.
