Volvo 122 Amazon Heater control Valve Replacement

What the heck, let's just go through the whole heating and cooling system in one weekend. Shall we?!

I bought a cheaper eBay heater control valve to save $50, and guess what? It was crap! I now have 500 miles on it and it failed yesterday afternoon. It doesn't leak, but it doesn't turn off. Grrrr....

Always fun when you start an "easy" job and before you know it you've half restored your car lol

UPDATE the manufacturer is sending me a replacement. They had me adjust it and it seemed to work much better but still replacing it.

Welp! The $50 less heater control valve turned out to be crap! It doesn't leak, but it doesn't turn the heat off either. No control of the heat at all. It worked for a few weeks but failed yesterday. Contacted the seller to see if they will replace it so we will see. Not hopeful...

You seem a bit vague on exactly where the coil end of the tube goes.i know it sits inside the heater box, but how does it go through it?
Where does it sit inside the heater box, and how does it work?
I'm about to do the same job on my 1970 130.Amazon.

Do you have a photo of the heater control valve wire going into the side of the heater unit. Do you have to uncoil the copper?

I am thinking of trying to get a 1967 volvo 122 running again is there anything you have seen that would make me change my mind on trying to get running and working again?
