'85 XJ6 Heater Valve details
In the summer I had bypassed the heater valve in my '85 XJ6- bad enough no cooling, but heat always on was worse.
Now I'm ready to reconnect it and am debating whether to get a new one or use the original.
It doesn't leak coolant, it holds vacuum, and when I apply vacuum the plunger retracts and the valve part turns, at least as far as I can see from the outside.
Does this mean it's fine, or can that valve turn and yet still allow hot water to flow through the valve?
Thanks,
