Heater Regulator for 940 1997 w/o AC Topic is solved

[whiteskies]

I'm trying to locate a replacement part due to a garage over here throwing away a good part.

It is a heater regulator for a 1997, 940, 2.3T Volvo Part Number: 9447892

I can't get hold of this at all in the UK or Europe. There is another part but this does not allow the heater control to do a full sweep from cold to hot. It lets plenty of heat through, but when turned down to cold, the air is still very warm.

wondering if anyone out there can supply me one of those correct regulators? According to Volvo, the part listed above was only fitted to a couple of years of the 940, I believe it was from '96-'98.

Any help or advice on part availability or trying to set this regulator us is muchly appreciated.

I did have an order in with them, but they have come back to me and said their stock is incorrect.

The new part number is a different part and is not compatible with the heating system in this car.

Is the heater control valve operated via vacuum?

Here is a typical cable operated heater control valve. I don't know if you think the different cable mount orientation would work.
There are several 70's through 90's Toyotas that use cable control heat regulation valves.
I know nothing about your auto parts store choices but most here have the online catalog section with pictures they can let you look through if they are feeling like helping you. You may find an exact replacement or you may be faced with using a longer heater hose section in order to change the location of the heater valve if it is different.
