Subject:      Product Review Bus Depot O Ring for rear Heater core valve
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8


I folks,


        I’ve gotten O rings from several vender sources including GW and Bus Lab, non worked.  Even with the new core.  They seeped. 


I decided to finally use gasket sealer but when I went to do this with a friend.  I wanted sighted help to keep the goop out of the coolant.  We noticed that the Bus Depot O Ring, marked Genuine VW part and more then three times the price of the others was thicker.  So we tried it all by itself.


I reported earlier it seemed to be working.


After a second couple of drives it is again dry and holding. 


So, just saying, I ordered a second one from Bus Depot to keep in my spare.  Hopefully I won’t need it and after three failures finally  part number 4 is working.
