    What Ford model is it? The valve you mention is what usually jams open on Kas and Fiestas....

    if you have spent forty sheets it must be a fiesta
    take the pipes off and get an assistiaunt to turn control inside car as you look in the black hole
    you should see the valve popping open shut
    or connect it to a battery
    youve either bought a duff poor copy (dealer price now £40 ) or its the control board inside car gone faulty
    duff copy heater valves on zetec engines cause car to overheat by the way
  • Hi yeah it is a fiesta and brought valve from ford. Had friend look at all that and still nothing . Must be the dial thing I think he tried a tester thing on the bak of the actual dial and the volt thing did not change or something so he thinks it might be that. I just want to double check b4 I buy anything else for it x
