    Default vs v8 heater tap

    Hey holden fans can anyone tell me how to test the heater tap that's on the heater hose of my vs v8. I think it's not working properly but want to be sure it's the problem. Any info will be great. Cheers.

    You can just blow/suck (hard) into the vacume line and see if it opens and closes. Best done out of the car. If you think its suspect, i think there only about $35 new. Also im talking about the non-climate control heater tap. If its the big cliate control one, then im not sure how that goes.

    Heater taps for VS V8 climate control and V8 non-climate control are the same. The fan resistors are different.
