I am working on an plan to replace these with an electrical solution but progress is a little slow at the moment. I have 5 of these valves ready to go.

Thats the beastie

Something might be worth trying first Lates, give them a pressure check before fitting on a garden hose or something as I reckon vary partial leakage is the achileels heel of these things.

Would it be better to pressure test with hot water, expansion and all.

Tim in search of additional information if you can have a scout about please.

The OE valve tap and servo motor do you know or can find out if the servo purely switches on and off the coolant or uses increments to control the flow ?

I have a cunning plan

Okay, I'll comeback to you but I think its incremental via an actuator.

Yep, Incremental control

Right now who is an electrical god

to make some notes on the wiring config in relation to valve position and shift the 5 valves here already

Hi Lates
Does the stepper motor fit staight onto your motorless valve or is there some mods to do to the base plate?
