I managed to get out to the airport today and I took a look
at the heater valve. When I disconnected it from the push/pull cable, I was
surprised to find that it is still as smooth as the day I installed it. So it
seems to be a good heater valve after all. But the cable on the other hand is
not very smooth at all.
Since I was already armed with a selection of
compression springs, I went ahead and installed one as per Georges suggestion
and it works great to overcome the cable fricton. However this is really just a
bandaid as I will replace the cable. I'm using the same cable for the floor/vent
selector and the Matco parking brake with no problems but they both have a
little better routing, so I'll likely just buy another of the same and re-route
it.
I just thought I'd pass it on that the simple, cheap heater valve
is still functioning well.
