WTB: Heater Core Valve...

[jtuner]

I need one of these ASAP! I'll let this post chill for a day or two to try and save some money, but soon after that i need to just buy one from somewhere... Anyone got one layin around? I need to be able to drive my car without it overheating and flooding my cabin with fluids :( I would prefer one from an 88-91 :) Thanks

Just get the core as well. Price em out used. Rs4pro hooked me up with both for 40 shipped. Theyre like 150 bucks a piece new.

I think the heater core valve is something that should be replaced with new since its plastic and you don't want to replace it more than once, trust me. I bought mine from www.bmaparts.com, it was about $60. Its good for the piece of mind, its a pain in the ass to replace.

Yeah I kinda figured that'd be the case.. But, it must be done lol I emailed BMA and asked for a price.. hopefully i can get them to send one out overnight to me on monday.. I'll go ahead and see if replacing the whole core as well will be in my pricerange.. Thanks anyway guys

I think the core is a couple hundred dollars, and is a pain in the ass to replace. I don't know why you'd change it if only the valve was broken.

Well I took a look at the valve and it looks like 2 rivets of the 4 that hold it together broke out.. SO it must be the valve :)
