Heater bypass valve you mean ( HBV )  sure someone will be along soon who maybe able to help in that area , not a big job 

[Lizzie_Zoom]

If you have a reasonable understanding of car mechanics and have basic tools to remove the plenum and disconnect / connect the HBV.

The HBV is situated usually at the rear of the drivers side cylinder bank.  It is just a fiddly job, but with the plenum out of the way the removal and refitting is straightforward enough.

I will try and find a picture of my last HBV replacement.

Lady Mechanic,
Lizzie
