Thanks for your reply Dave. When I check my records on that car I see that I replaced the heater control valve in 2008 @175K. Certainly longer than I should have expected that thin wall plastic to hold up.

Both of our 94 944t cars have been removed from the line up for long trips. We make a 1200 mile trip every five or six weeks. I too have a "road box" for traveling but it can't cover all the possibilities. For years I was able to walk into an auto supply store and get what I needed, but those days are gone for 30 year old Volvos. Stranded for lack of parts makes for some bad days.
