Is that pretty much true for the W201 as well?
I don't know much about the 201 (yet). Ours isn't that far
along! But I expect it to be substantially the same. I know
the monovalve is different, as is the PB array and fan control,
but still...
There is NO monovalve on the 201. There is a vacuum operated valve that
turns heat on and off. It tends to fail after about 150kmi or 15 years.
I've replaced at least 2 or 3 of them in 4 cars (my Euro 201 doesn't
have a vacuum valve - but an ABSOLUTELY reliable manual valve). If the
vacuum goes out in a 201, you get FULL heat (and there are other causes
of full heat).
