Wedge TR8 Heater Control Valve

[GBRandy]

My heater control valve started leaking a few years ago. I shut it off and it stopped and that's they way it has been since.

Time to replace it. The original is NLS. Any guidance on what valve fits? I was told a Volvo valve part number 1348252-6 superseded by part no. 9131998 fits, but can not find it anywhere.

Anyone?

Yet one more thing I wish I'd written down!

I went through this when I restored mine - found a replacement, but not sure I recorded all the vital info. I'll check through my stuff and see if I can locate it.

I have this saved from the time I had a TR7:

"Auto Zone part # ready aire #5864 at less than $50.00. Way less expensive than a Volvo part $165.00. The Auto zone part carries the same mfg number as the original part. I received mine and it is a perfect match to the original. Also available at Kragens. It must be looked up under the Volvo application, 1974-1978 240 series Volvos"

A year ago I'd have sold ya a used one for a fin... and thrown in a FREE 240 wagon (attached)! :smirk:

Looks like the Ready Aire is NLA. The Volve numbers are NLA & I am down to what looks to be the wrong part from Napa: https://www.napaonline.com/Search/Detail.aspx?R=ATM1572801_0257142869#

Any other ideas out there?

Uhmmmm Never mind. I just ordered the one in the link. $165 seems outrageous, but I can not find it elsewhere.

They made me fill out a form that forced a car selection. I will now be receiving various spam e-mails about my 1980 Volvo 240 turbo :crazy:
