How to change Heater Tap in a VS Climate Control.
There is a diagram at the bottom.
I like to change all Tap/hoses/clamps.
This is an easier way to replace tap and hoses/clamps.
Leave all the hoses and clamps connected to the heater tap.
Undo all hose clamps at firewall and clamps 2 and 5 and pull hoses off.
You will see a vacuum line on heater tap take it off.
Pull the whole lot out in one piece put it on a bench you can use this to copy off.
Flush heater core 2 pipes on firewall.
After you assemble put everything put it back in the car you should have 4 hose clamps (2/5/15/15) to do up and the vacuum hose.
You have to warm car up and bleed air out and will need coolant.
Have the tap open as well.
Hope that helps.
PS. the first time I found the hoses on the firewall very hard to get off so cut the hoses long ways down to the copper pipe and peeled open.
If you have part number 13 pipe you can delete it I did up to you.
Please feel free to add if I`ve missed something.
