I have just found out that the vsv valve can be fixed easily yourself all you need to do is remove it from the car (undo the vacuum lines the plug and undo the 7mm bolt holding it on the bracket).Then take the valve apart it has 8 small prongs two sets per side that need squeezing together with pliers carefully.Then you can pull the valve apart.They are really simple inside and only have a spring a piston /actuator rod thing and a small valve seat.Clean all of these with WD40 blow some air through the valve to clean out any gunk then put it all back together how you found it. Now your heater should now switch on and off like new.Mine now works perfectly and it didn' cost me a thing just half an hour on a sunday morning.(if anyone is wondering why i'm worrying about my heater in the middle of summer unlike all you guys in the east in the goldfields it has been pouring with rain and freezing all week isn't global warming great?)

We are definitely heading for a cold Autumn here in Kiwiland. Snow predicted in some places tonight!

A picture of the vsv valve location on the engine bay would be really helpful Matthew.

I am suspecting my one to be blocked or not operating properly.
