Default Heater vacuum valve assembly located? (S1)

Hi! As winter is coming around and my car will be sitting around for most of it, I want to take care of some small things.
dies anyone know where this valve is located?


I can’t follow the vacuum lines because they are coupled completely wrong and was hoping to set things right so I can change the airflow and heat.

All answears are appreciated!

This valve is behind the centre console panel which houses the heater controls and usually the radio. Once the vent controls and radio are removed, remove the chrome finisher panel. Then remove the black steel panel.
Warning! be very careful with this valve. The plastic barbs break off very easily. You will be very lucky to find a good used unit if yours is broken.

Thank you mekon!
Will probably take a look at the radio too when doing this.. it worked sometimes when I got the car but now not at all.
the power cable for the radio was wired in to the fuse for dials and the horn, and all of those things were funky until I changed the fuse but now the radio doesn’t start..
