Small foam pieces blowing from vents

Did you or anybody else try the cutoff valve for the heater core? If so how did it work? Thanks

My foam is long gone. AC still works great but my heater is not as effective as it once was. Luckily, here in FL, heater is effective enough.

Yeah, I definitely don't have that valve and the heater core is always hot.
I think 78F350 is correct. That valve appears to be for the tiptronic.

Thanks for the DIY, by the way. I never planned to do the repair through the heater core access hole because it did not address the other flap. With your method, I had it done in less than 2 hours and I'm now foam free!

Thanks guys. My sources show the Tip with 2 of these valves - 1 for the trans and one for the heater. I presumed the manual trans cars still have one for the heater.Why else is it labeled a "Heater Control Valve" ?:
Just search for ECS Meyle 92857457303.Sorry Pelican, your site search did not yield anything except for a 944.The Vertex site confirms it fits my 2001 Bxtr S 6 speed..
Another issue is that a Thread contributor(see 26 below) commented that the lack of foam seemed to have no effect on his a/c in Florida. That seems strange.
So maybe back to the original plan. Find an easily accessible spot to insert a seasonal valve on the input side of the heater core ?

That is weird...maybe Porsche added one to all models in later years?
Or maybe I'm just missing something
