Re: 1993 960 wagon with very low heat output

just a quick question: have you actually watched the heater control valve operating to make sure it's really working? My wife's 95 960 has slowly produced less heat over the last couple years. Today I finally took a look and determined that the control valve was not moving. Did I get all wonky and t...
