OOOOh you are a wonderful!
Still my car is a Euro & some parts have been different so I really wouldn;t want to order it having the old one esp if the thing is $
There is another like that next to it.
Wonder if they are same?
If it is an heat activayed open type valve
it's possible it wasn't working?
Do they fail after 25 yeats?
Guess that one will be changed
but wonder if other one should?
So now the dilemna if I can try to change it?
spray it with penetrating oil?
will it come loose?
Have sockets & wrenches
I checked them & it looks like could be the 18mm
its pretty shallow
but may need a deep socket which I don't have
Or plug the 2 open vac hoses & get it to a shop?
Thanks again
Guess its not the end of the world
but it certainly was a day I wish never happened...
