No heat!

[Kneale Brownson]

There's a device on the side of the airbox that controls the flaps that
direct the air over the heater core or bypassing it.  That's more likely to
give your problem, I think.  It's called the temperature regulating flap
servo motor.  The inline water valve operates on a vacuum, and the normal
failure for the valve is to break apart, dumping your coolant rather rapidly.

You can check the climate control fault memory, I believe, by following the
directions on either Chris Miller's 200q20v page or Scott Mockry's
resourceful
website:  http://members.aol.com/c1j1miller/index.html  and
http://www.sjmautotechnik.com    respectively.
