2007 Ka heater constantly hot...

[Deerfoot]

My Mum's Ka heater is on permanent meltdown at the moment, selecting the air-con on makes zero difference.

After a quick google the likely culprit appears to be the heater control valve located under the scuttle.

Has anyone here changed this and how difficult / easy is it?

Cheers in advance.

Many thanks for that. I'll give it a go.

Just a quick update, took me about an hour to complete and it's now perfect again.

Part cost around £15.00, and I topped up the coolant for a fiver.

Happy days.

sorry it took so long!

I wasn`t rushing, a cup of tea or two, decided to give it a good clean once the scuttle was off and that was that.

The wipers weren`t easy to remove though.....
