Title: Heater Bypass Valve - expensive?
Post by: The Waynester on 31 October 2013, 00:45:44

Hi Guys

I remember having a HBV fitted about 2 years ago, I`m almost certain it wasn't Genuine Vauxhall!

any ideas how much for a new Genuine VX one?  my Miggy is an S reg 1998 2.5 V6 CDX Estate

I`m loosing coolant once a month, not a great deal, but enough for the dash to say "Coolant Level"

They're about £35, not worth buying pattern for the sake of a few quid though :y

Check that the leak is actually coming from there first though. ;)

Mine was cheaper in the end, as didn't use it as leak not the HBV so took back to dealer and got full refund  :y

Everyone a winner  :)

Except when it does go (which it will), they will have gone up to £56.44 and you'll wish you kept it as a spare!!  ::)  ;D
