refurbishing a heater control valve? 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be heater for my beater on  Mon Feb 23 18:31 CST 2004 [RELATED]


Hello,

I happened to find a heater control valve in a parts car which I removed. It was rather corroded and so I just took it in case there might be any possibility of refurbishing it. I cut the tube leading into the heater box vent-system to take it out. I'm guessing that from what I've read below this was probably a big mistake, as it's a capilary tube.

So... is there any hope of refurbishing this part and using it again, or is it worthless now? I must confess I don't quite understand how they work. What's the purpose of the capillary tube thermometer?

Thanks
