E-euOREGON Htr Bypass delete kit failure... Posted by thewheell22 [Email] (#2450) [Profile/Gallery] (more from thewheell22) on Thu, 28 Jul 2022 15:24:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
18 mo ago, after the 2nd Htr Bypass Valve failure in as many years I decided to make my own bypass deletion kit with 3/4' barbed PVC fittings. worked as promised...for a while:) Had thought it was slick because I left plugs I could remove to connect a hose and flush periodically. haha. BUT..the PVC distorts after a while and shrinks and again...that pesky obscure coolant leak was back. I bit the bullet and bought a Dorman OEM valve and put it in and the leak is gone...for now. Pic below shows the backyard kit before and after. Posting this to give a heads up that it works, just not a perm fix.
Happy Motoring!
