> 84 Westy stock 1.9 A/C  A/T.  My front heater valve is leaking again. Replaced it last year shortly after I bought the van. It started leaking after about 5K miles. Replaced it, new one has started leaking after less than 1k miles. Don't remember which vendor they were purchased from, either B. Depot or V. Cafe....or both. Is there any alternative to the typical plastic POS? ?.....Thoughts?  Haven't tested pressure on radiator cap, PO said it was new. Thanks, Roger B.


Is it that the valve leaks, or that the control cable does not close it completely?  The latter is true of almost all of them, unfortunately.  mcneely
