Hi,
got the black olive heater valve from Tim today. Is there anything I have to pay attention to when changing it?
Thanks
Marcus

Hi,
my valve seems already fully build together (see attached picture).

Do I have to remove the radiator cap before removing the old valve (I don't understand this point in the howto).
Ciao!
No, leave the radiator cap on, that way you will not drain the coolant.
This 'How To' may be better for you Marcus.

Ah, I understand. Thanks.
My valve came without these spacers which are shown in the howto

Is there something missing?

Looking at Post #15 in this link Marcus, it looks like the spacers aren't always needed. I haven't done this upgrade myself so I can't comment accurately but I am sure someone will be along to advise with more accurate information soon.
