Hi,
i have a problem with my old E 30, when the water gets up to temp the "junction" of plastic pipes which go into the heater matrix (on the left as you crouch looking at the underdash area) are leaking, the car has to get up to temp first but when it does the water pours out!
Has anyone any idea what this could be please?
water dripping from......

Thanks alot Demlotcrew,
does this mean my valve is knackered?
is it repairable or do i need to get a new one? maybe secondhand from a zoner??
euro list a kit at less than £1 would that be the gasket for this part or should i get a new valve? at either £59.00 or £99.00 depending on the type fitted
any ideas would be very much appreciated, it`s mot time very soon and the car needs welding so i`m just wondering wether to spend the cash on this car or buy another car........

There is no 'kit' as such its just new seals when you change the valve over.
You can get second hand easy so just put up a wanted add in the correct section.
There is no other way to fix it im afraid.
