Go with the cheap and easy replacement, $10 and less than 1 hour.

I did mine about 5 years ago, and it is holding up well.  No hot feet.

Subject: front heater valve troubles?

1991 vanagon westy
Hi all,
Summer heat combined with front heater valve not shutting off is causing the
blues here in CA.
Two questions:
1) Is there a quick and easy way to install a shutoff for the summer time?
2) Long term - what is the best way to remove and replace the heater valve
with one that works? And should I do any other maintenance at the same time?
Thanks.
Kevin
