Re: [MBZ] Genuine MB Monovalve Inserts!!

Sounds like the PBU is calling for heat (no power across the monovalve) all the time, or the wiring has a fault. This assumes your insert is good and the coil in the monovalve works. You could try applying continuous power across the monovalve to see if that will close off the hot coolant

Agree totally, Kaleb! DO NOT buy the MTC version. It’s crap. They do not work properly, and the rubber diaphragm has a half life of burning match. I went through two of these with Rusty before buckling under and paying $140 (in 2012) for a real MB made in France. It’s worked perfectly

What one need to understand about these climate control systems is that each part of it is interdependent upon the other parts. For instance, if your temp sensor (under that little square grill on the dash) is inop, your monovalve or AC will not know what to do. Ditto for the foam rubber tube
