Non return valve?

[bad-vw-boy 0]

hi all , i am trying to track down a non return valve for a 1990 1.8 16v ( the alloy one on the feed pipe) apparently this was a mod due to the heater matrix blowing up due to excessive pressure caused by the heating system, i went in to my local vag agent who told me that they no longer make this part, when i asked what i should do , he suggested putting it back to original...which begs the question , wont my heater matrix be prone to leaking as thats why the mod was brought out.....any suggestions or advise as to what i should do or where i can get a replacement...appologies if this is in the wrong section . :brickwall:

They've probably stopped doing these kits as the MK3 golf heater matrix (with pressure relief as I understand it) has superceded the original Corrado matrix.

 

Try putting a post in the wanted section, people are breaking stuff all the time so you should get sorted
