Title: Beta coue -earlyish - heater valve Post by: smithymc on August 03, 2024, 12:22:02 PM Just in time for Betameeta next weekend, the normally fairly faithful steed has thrown a shoe- all over my shoes actually- as coolant is coming from the heater valve at quite a rate. Happily I was only 3 miles from home when I spotted it so got it back without catastrophe.
I googled the part number and Tanc Barret have something the same number, but different in appearance. Mine is a black plastic IPRA item and the suggested replacement is metal see pics. Will it do the job before I tear over to Ludlow ( about 90 mins) and waste £89 ?. Title: Re: Beta coue -earlyish - heater valve Post by: WestonE on August 03, 2024, 01:16:22 PM Hi Mark
These plastic valves have been a frequent fail. I think the part offered is worth a try as they only way to really know is to get it up close and personal with the heater pipes and linkages.

I'll see if I can get over there asap next week.

At the very least you'll be able to bypass this issue if you can't find the correct valve. Nigel Title: Re: Beta coue -earlyish - heater valve Post by: smithymc on August 03, 2024, 08:47:48 PM I'd not thought of a work-around Nigel. Good idea.
Thanks Mark Title: Re: Beta coue -earlyish - heater valve Post by: Neil-yaj396 on August 05, 2024, 07:52:44 AM At least it looks nice and clean under there...
