After seeing posts about the disappearance of the all-metal heater valve, I embarked on a mission to call all the Autozone stores within a 50 mile radius. I found one store with two valves, and bought both (all the other stores had the new plastic/metal valve).



If somebody wants to buy the second valve, I'll be glad to sell at my cost. Otherwise I'll return it to Autozone. This is the same replacement HCV mentioned in many posts on 968.net and probably here too. The pic is a little blurry, but I think you can see the number. My cost incl. sales tax was $31.38. I'll mail it through the local mailboxes, etc., so shipping will probably add another $5-$7 (I'm not sure of their cost).



If anybody is interested, pls email me though my profile on this website. If your within 50 miles of Berkeley, CA, we can probably arrange to meet and avoid shipping charges.



Note - see the topic "Posts that Every 968 Should Read" for a discussion on replacement HCV

Mark, I don't meet the CA location, but I'll purchase the valve from you if it's still available. An email is being sent. Thanks.

This is good info. If anyone comes up with the maker and part number, I'd be interested in knowing for my growing database of 968 information.



And....bummer....I just bought the Porsche plastic one for about twice as much!

Harvey, check the section in this forum labeled "Posts Every 968 owner should read". I think there are part numbers listed. You can also search 968.net for "HCV". The number shown in the picture is what I used when calling around to the Autozone stores. Then ask the clerk to check the boxes and tell you if it is all metal.
