Description
Product Overview
The X AUTOHAUX Heater Control Valve is engineered to replace the original hot water valve in a wide range of Audi vehicles. Measuring 4.33 inches, the valve combines a metal housing with high‑temperature resistant plastic components to withstand the demanding environment of the engine bay. The integrated solenoid provides electronic control, allowing the vehicle’s climate system to modulate coolant flow through the heater core with greater precision than older mechanical designs. With a weight of just 14.4 ounces and compact dimensions of 4.37 x 3.98 x 3.11 inches, the unit installs easily into the factory mounting location. The black finish matches OEM aesthetics while the robust construction ensures long‑term durability.
