The heater control valve is also controlled by a cable. So, when there’s a problem with the system where there’s no heat or excessive heat, it’s normally due to a broken or disconnected cable. On the later model 944 HVAC systems, the A/C evaporator and heater core are contained in the same housing.

Where does the check valve go on a 944?

One side of the “Y” goes to a small check valve attached to the large brake booster vacuum line at the back of the firewall.

How does the radiator work on a Porsche 944?

The radiator is a water to air heat exchanger. It consists of many rows of small water filled tubes, with fins attached to them. The hot water passes through the tubes and dumps its heat to the air flowing through the fins. The fins provide a large surface area over which this heat transfer can occur.
