Heater valve

Eric,

I have this. Not sure it still works. Make me an offer.

Does the cable throttle still move? Guess that will be the true test of whether it works or not.

Simon, if you are looking at this, will this work for me? No leaks or anything at the bushes or whetever they are called?

Andrew, will PM you tomorrow.

Andrew,

Not sure if you ever received my PM... haven't heard from you yet...

Sorry F_D, have been really busy. I will strip this valve on the weekend and see if it still works.

Will let you know.

Thanks Andrew.

No real hurry, it's very unlikely I will be needing it in the current heatwave :D

In that case, how about an Aircon compressor...

[Family_Dog]

Yep, looking for one of those too, for the SWB!

You got?

Hi Andrew

Have you perhaps given any thought to the parts we talked about?

[BenHur]

Im also interested in the diffs if it is the imported type.

FD it might still work, "never judge a book by it's cover."

Better to have it as a spare than have nothing, you could also just carry two bolts and hose clamps as well.

How much do you want for it and what other Hilux spares do you have, what cab is the vehicle in this photo, single or double, is it also for sale?

Thank's :)

Hi F_D

Sorry, no luck with the heater valve. When I stripped it, it was all rusted with holes everywhere.
Valve did not move either.

Hi Andrew,

I was worried about such, no matter, will keep looking! Thanks anyhow.

Simon, when you get a chance, please have a look in your container, we at least have the picture now that Andrew posted above.

The heater valve on most Hiluxes looks different though

[SYRON CONVERSIONS]

You get a black plastic type on the newer SFA Hilux's and then on the pre 1995 models you get the steel type like in the first photo, belive me, for peace of mind, rather just buy a new one from the agents, an engine is worth much more than the price of this item, this is why I replaced mine with a new one.

Andries took the old one and stripped it, then gas welded all the rust holes, machined it and gave it back to me, however it is in the vehicle for a spare, I do not trust it.

Andries also told me that the City Golf type will also work, you just have to modify the cable.

Hi Simon,

If the newer one does fit, then I will go this route. I currently have a Golf valve in (R85 from AutoZone), but there is not enough travel with the cable and it will either not open fully, or shut off fully, depending on how the cable is installed.

I will price a new one from Toyota.
