What is the Heater Control Valve all about?

The heater control valve is one of the many components that are responsible for warming the interior compartment. This valve controls the flow of coolant from the engine to the heater core. Most heater control valves are operated in three basic ways. A manual cable, a thermostat type system, or even engine vacuum can control them.

Keep in mind:

The heater control valve cannot be repaired, only replaced.
When the valve is replaced, a mechanic should inspect the other heater hoses, so that they can be replaced if need be.
If the heater control valve is contaminated or corroded, the coolant in the system should be flushed when the new valve is installed.

How it's done:

Pressure check the cooling system.
Test operation of the valve.
Replace the control valve if bad/leaking.
Fill with coolant.
Test operation of the heater.

Our recommendation:

Since the air and heating system is a closed system, a mechanic won’t be checking your heater control valve during routine inspections and services. Instead, keep an eye on your air and heating system, and schedule an inspection if you notice that anything is malfunctioning. If your heater either doesn’t work or won’t adjust, then you possibly have a malfunctioning heater control valve, and you should schedule an inspection.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Heater Control Valve?

Coolant is leaking.
Heater does not work.

How important is this service?

If the heater control valve is leaking then you will end up with a loss of coolant, which will eventually cause the car to overheat. A properly working heater control valve ensures the proper functioning of the heating and AC system.

Oldsmobile Alero V6-3.4L - Car is not starting - Vallejo, California

He basically had me sit in the driver seat and he took a crowbar type thing and hit the starter on my car and asked me to turn the key as he banged on my car's starter several times and pronounced that it is probably the starter. So, if I hire YourMechanic to replace my starter, you will credit the $80 from the quote of $232 cost of the repair, correct? And, if it turns out that it wasn't the starter after all, then what? Am I out the $80 and the $232 and then another $80 for yet another inspection and then god knows how much more $$ for more repairs? Just would like a clearer picture of all this, please? Thank you.
