I've gone through the pictures twice for my VIN; and for the life of me I can't seem to find a part number in ECT {or ETKA, or whatever MB calls their version of the CD parts catalog; I'm using the russian online version} for the heater "control" valve.

I'd expect it to be in section 50 along with the radiator parts.

Does anyone know where to find it in the catalog? My 240D is a 123123 car; and is equipped with MANUAL heater and A/C controls -- i.e. no climate controller with the vacuum ports; instead, it has a "dual shutoff valve" that is cable operated on the firewall, which is the part number I seek.

Call MB Classic center and they can find the factory part number.

Sweet. Thanks.
