Information

The metal strainers on the control ducts can spring off when pulling out the valve.
The reason for this is that the spotwelds may have become loose due to vibrations.
Check during re-installation that the strainers are still in place. If the strainers are missing, the valve will have to be replaced.

Fit valve with new O-ring.
