I'm surprised Dr. Fatty would sell you one. I didn't think he would sell such

The real thing is over $100, what do you think?
I'll make it real simple, cheap parts on eBay will always be a gamble, how much

Larry, when you say controller you mean the push button module,

On that system, the actual controller is separate from
the pushbutton module. Every PBU I've had has had problems,
but I've never had a controller go bad. The PBU just selects
functions, and gates the signals for the mode
I would start with looking at the monovalve.
As for the disparity in prices, I would suspect that the URO folks are somehow
involved.
A URO rep surfaced a while ago over at BenzWorld and he tried to defend their
products. Needless to say he went quiet rather quickly as people took him to
That system has two primary ills: bad solder joints in the
pushbutton array, and a split monovalve insert. The former
makes it insane, and unable to do what it should, and the
latter just plain prevents heat. The tertiary ill is a
rotted foam hose going to the cabin air temperature sensor,
A piece of 1/2 foam pipe insulation works wonders as a replacement for the

Hi Andrew,
Go with a new OE mono-valve. I had the same issue and bought 2 chinese
mono-valves from Rusty before crying uncle. The OE ($146 IIRC) has worked
perfectly since it was installed almost 3 winters ago. The cheap Chinese ones
would get a little tear in the rubber diaphragm allowing
