You cannot by pass it for that very reason it's the control valve. Different engine speeds effect the coolant flow......that's what I experienced when mine went faulty. |

Gates EHV133 is the OEM part. Don’t bother with cheapo copies from the online auctioneer - ask me how I know - the Gates part isn’t much more expensive and is considerably better (original) quality.

The gates one looks different to mine, I think that maybe for the FBH. Mines a 2 solenoid one looks the same as the above eBay link.

I’ve changed the heater control valve, but the old ones were all broken up, so they needed replacing.

As you have now proved it was the control valve and it was all broken up and have poor heating 1 side of the car compared to the other it proberly means those broken up bits are blocking the heater matrix.

I flushed out the heater matrix when I did it to make sure there was no blockages.
